However, it will only set it in the script. Once the script exits and you
are back to the parent shell, that variable goes away. There really is no
way

Subject: Re: setting and importing ENV from within PERL
I am
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to :
a) set an ENV variable from within a perl script and
then print out it's value from within the same shell.
Here is the code that I am trying to use:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
# set some environment variables.
system(`setenv MY_VAR "test"`
