in reply to How to set an environment variable in perl so that it's visible to subsequent processes?

For Unix at least, the short answer is that it can't be done. This is in the Perl FAQ, by the way: I {changed directory, modified my environment} in a perl script. How come the change disappeared when I exited the script? How do I get my changes to be visible?
