Re: Run shell script in perl

You have a problem and you don't even check what error you got? See the docs for how to find out.

. set means "execute the commands in file 'set' in the current process".

system("set") means "execute program or script 'set'".

There are differences. Most relevant is probably the lack of requirement for set to be executable in the former.

By the way, set is an awful name because a sh/bash/... command has that same name.

You still haven't told us the error returned by system. I'm not playing the guessing game when the information is readily available.	[reply]
