The replies so far will work if you are trying to store the entire %ENV, but if you are just trying to create a subset of %ENV you can use the following (also generically for selecting hash subsets):
use strict; use warnings; # Stuff some matches into %ENV # It's interesting to note in the output that the keys are uc'd $ENV{SERVER_junk} = 'junk'; $ENV{SERVER_test} = 'test'; $ENV{ReQuEsT_job} = 'job'; $ENV{http_header} = 'header'; my @match = qw( server_ request_ http_ ); my %hash; foreach my $key (keys %ENV) { print "$key => $ENV{$key}\n"; foreach my $test (@match) { if ($key =~ /^$test/i) { $hash{$key} = $ENV{$key}; } } } print "\nResults\n---------------------\n"; foreach (keys %hash) { print "$_ => $hash{$_}\n"; }
Resulting Output:
TEMP => C:\windows\TEMP SERVER_TEST => test REQUEST_JOB => job SERVER_JUNK => junk COMSPEC => C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM HTTP_HEADER => header PATH => C:\PERL\BIN;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND WINDIR => C:\WINDOWS Results --------------------- SERVER_JUNK => junk SERVER_TEST => test HTTP_HEADER => header REQUEST_JOB => job
