A little history of the problem:
I have built a Perl/TK GUI that I will use to connect to several different sun stations. When I first launch the GUI, I login in with my user/pass which is the user/pass I will use to connect to all sun stations. When I click a button, the GUI launches a: 
system("xterm -e /PATH/TO/LOGIN_PERL_SCRIPT &");

[download]
The LOGIN_PERL_SCRIPT uses Expect.pm to automatically log me in. LOGIN_PERL_SCRIPT has the user/pass because the GUI writes it to a file and then the LOGIN_PERL_SCRIPT opens the file, gets the user/pass, and deletes the file. This way no one can do a ps -ef and grab the user/pass if I were to use my ($user,$pass)=@ARGV to get it from command line.

QUESTION:
How, if possible, can I set user/pass as Global Variable that be read by LOGIN_PERL_SCRIPT? Is it possible to write user/pass to a memory location that can be called by other programs, or something along these lines?
Thanks in advanced...
