He wants to affect the environment of the process he's calling.
Try this:
$frazzle = 'exported string';
$ENV{'FRAZZLE'} = $frazzle;
$output = `ksh -c \'print \$FRAZZLE\'`;
print $output;

I would guess you are actually asking about exporting system environment
variables?
I'm new to this but here's my idea, setting them on the system directly,
using PATH as an example:
`PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/perl`
`export $PATH`
or maybe
`export PATH=/usr/bin:/etc:.`
I don't do a lot with env var

What do you mean? Variables interpolate inside of backticks (unless you
are silly enought to do qx'', and then they won't).
