Congratulations, works for me :)

open my $source,'-|',"bash /tmp/wrapper.sh" or die "$!";

my $dump= do { local $/; <$source>};

my $VAR1;

eval $dump;

print $VAR1->{MONK};  #> jfroebe

Thats an extremely stable approach, I can't think of a way to make it break! =)

you could even try to generate the code from wrapper.sh dynamically on the fly, hence avoiding any security/dependencies issues.

> you could even try to generate the code from wrapper.sh dynamically on the fly

works! =) 

my $bashcode=<<'_bash_';
. /tmp/src.sh;
perl -MData::Dumper -e "print Dumper \%ENV";
_bash_


open my $source, '-|', qq{bash -c '$bashcode'} or die "$!";

my $dump= do { local $/; <$source>};

my $VAR1;

eval $dump;

print $VAR1->{MONK};  #> jfroebe

UPDATE

far less code, same result 

my $bashcode=<<'__bash__';
. /tmp/src.sh;
perl -MData::Dumper -e 'print Dumper \%ENV';
__bash__

my $VAR1;
eval qx{bash -c "$bashcode"};

print $VAR1->{MONK};  #> jfroebe
