If that's the case, then why don't the env vars persist? Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]

The parent is `perl`, which can't execute batch files, so a `cmd` is indeed launched here. I wasn't so much correcting you as explaining that the behaviour is different than explained when the batch file is run from the prompt.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
