Re: Importing environment variables from shell script file to Perl

Another idea: in the shell script, do

export blah=/tmp/test
[download]

to make these environment variables. Then your Perl script can use the %ENV hash to read these in. Thus, $ENV{blah} will have the value "/tmp/test"

Of course, this is assuming that's possible in this project, specs being specs and managers being managers.

Ummm, no. He said specifically that the perl script is the parent of the shell script, not the other way round.	[reply]
