in reply to running sh script from perl script

When referencing any code in your questions you should utilize <CODE> tags.

Now that thats out of the way, just dump using the sh script and update your variables via the %ENV hash as in $ENV{'JAVA_HOME'} etc.. However if sourcing existing sh files is mandantory, read the source file via your Perl script and regex for the name=value pairs and update the %ENV based on your results.
