in thread Using STDIN after exec() with ActiveState Perl

path is not like ld_library_path, its not cached, you don't need exec trick for it to be seen after perl is started, just change path then load the module, you can use Module::Load / Module::Load

    Oh indeed you're right, actually it's not for the PATH environment variable that I needed the exec. It's for another environment variable which is used by the C++ library. If I set it with %ENV and I don't use exec, then the C++ library doesn't see it.

      Which one? :)

        It's the unitsync library used by the Spring RTS project (https://springrts.com/). The environment variables used by this library are specific to this project (SPRING_DATADIR and SPRING_WRITEDIR).
