in reply to what is the method to get the environment from child process ?

I guess it is not possible.. But does somebody knows a way of getting the values of environment from a child process to a parent process ?

Do you perhaps mean "Set environment variables within the parent (shell) process from a child (perl) process?"

    Setting environment in child (perl )process, and getting it in parent ( perl ) process.

    Forking a child perl process from parent perl process.

      You are suggesting using environment vars as an IPC mechanism?

      If so, I don't believe that is possible on any multi-tasking OS.
