Subject: How to modify $ENV{PATH} portably?
Hi,
The format of env variable PATH seems to change with
OS/shell. For example,
in sh it is like
"/dir1/bin:/dir2/bin:."
while in csh, it is like
(/dir1/bin /dir2/bin .)
I need to search for "/dir2/bin" path component in my
$ENV{PATH}, and then, insert "/newpath/bin" just
before "/dir2/bin". But due to different format of
PATHs in different os/shells, I am not able to do that
in a very clean way.
Is there any Perl Array (somewhat like @INC) which I
can modify to have my PATH changed?
Just put into $ENV{} new value
$ENV{'path'} = '/dir1/bin /newpath/bin /dir2/bin .';
or use regexp to modify it.
This change is valid for current running skript and operating system know
nothing about path change.
