Of course, that'll take care of bash, ksh and other shells that use the NAME = VALUE syntax for setting, but csh and it's derivatives use a syntax like (set|setenv) NAME VALUE.

A major part of this code was taken from cromatic's above, and then twisted in mischevious ways.

while (<DATA>) { chomp; my ($var, $value); if ( /\s*(\w+)\s*=\s*([^;]+)/ || /\s*(?:set|setenv)\s+(\w+)\s+([^; +]+)/ ) { ($var, $value) = ($1, $2); } else { next; } while ($value =~ /\\$/) { my $temp .= <DATA>; chomp $temp; $temp =~ s/^\s*//; $temp =~ s/\s*$//; $value =~s/\\$/$temp/; } if ($value =~ s/^\$(\w+)//) { $value .= $env_var{$1} || ''; } $env_var{$var} = $value; } foreach my $key (keys %env_var) { print "$key = $env_var{$key}\n"; } __DATA__ NAME1 = VALUE1 set NAME2 = VALUE2 setenv NAME3 = VALUE3 NAME4=VALUE4 \ VALUE5


I Hope that that helps.
