No. The environment is not magical like that -- the place in memory of
the reference in program A is not special to program B.
You'll have to send a serialized version somehow:
# prog1
use Data::Dumper;
$ENV{ARRAY} = Dumper \@array;
# prog2
@array = @{ eval $ENV{ARRAY} };
or:
# prog1
use Storable 'freeze';
$ENV{ARRAY} = freeze \@array;
# prog2
use Storable 'thaw';
@array = @{ thaw $ENV{ARRAY} };
There are many other serialization modules out there. Search CPAN for
them.
