Re^4: calling external programs via cgi perl script

for some reason, source foo; doesn't work for me. this is my foo file:

#!/bin/tcsh

set circuit_os = Linux.7.3

setenv CIRCUIT_LIC /tools/circuit/difflib/asdf.lic
setenv SERVER_LIC /tools/circuit/difflib/server.lic
[download]

and when I execute this:

my @lines =`. foo; env`;

foreach my $line (@lines)
{
   print "[DEBUG] $line <br>\n";
}
[download]

I don't understand why I'm also getting this:

sh: line 6: setenv: command not found
sh: line 7: setenv: command not found
[download]

I don't see any of those variables in output.

It doesn't work because you're trying to use csh commands in a Bourne shell. Explicitly run things with csh, or rewrite the environment variable setting script using sh syntax (as cdarke mentioned already above).	[reply]
