Re^2: Issue with env variables set through dos batch

Hello Ikegami... Yes..I cannot modify the batch file. It is as it is and I was thinking of doing one of 2 things: 1. Small batch/shell script that first calls the env var batch/shell script and then my perl script - this would ensure that the env variables are set before my perl script is executed. 2. Use the File Open in Perl to read the batch/shell script and execute each line like a perl command....not sure if do-able ?

You forgot 3. Use the solution I provided. (1) is the simplest.	[reply]

What you described in #1 should work. This is very similar to what happens with the portable version of Strawberry Perl. In the case of portable Strawberry Perl, there's batch script that you run first and it does two things: opens a command prompt window and sets the environment variables for just that command prompt window. From there, you can run your scripts and Windows will know where to find all of the Perl files (perl.exe, "installed" modules, etc.) for the portable Strawberry Perl. Also, I haven't tested it, but ikegami's suggestion looks like it should work too.	[reply]
