I am trying to source a startup script which is cshell in perl. For that purpose I wrote a shell wrapper to source the startup script and run the script to system command as below:

submain.pl contains:

 system("sh sourcing.sh");

Sourcing.sh will have the following contents:

 source startup.csh

startup.csh will have:

setenv CC_LIBDIR ${CC_ROOTDIR}/lib/perl
setenv CC_STARTUP_FILE ${CC_LIBDIR}/cc_startup.pm

When I tried executing the perl script by executing the command perl submain.pl I get the following error:

/nfs/scm-cctools/Releases/Alpha_Beta/7_3_0/start.csh: line 1: setenv: command not found

/nfs/scm-cctools/Releases/Alpha_Beta/7_3_0/start.csh: line 2: setenv: command not found

But if I try to source a bash script it would work fine. How can I source a csh script using system command in perl?
