    I know. I use PATH instead on Windows and it works. The only problem is this STDIN being multiplexed.

    edit: actually it's not even for the PATH environment variable that I need the exec, it's for setting an environment variable that can be seen by a dynamic library called by my script.

      Windows isn't linux, PATH is not LD_LIBRARY_PATH , you don't need exec on windows

        I know Windows isn't linux, and I know PATH is not LD_LIBRARY_PATH. However I didn't know it was possible to set an environment variable that can be seen by a dynamic library loaded by a perl script without relying on using exec, which is what you meant by "you don't need exec on windows" I guess. If you have any link containing information about how to do that I would be very interested.
