Is it possible to create an alias in the shell from within Perl?

I have a command I want to use in the shell after my Perl script executes. This 
command can vary, so what I would prefer to do is set up an alias to execute it. 

I realize aliases are created differently in different shells. I will be using Bourne.

So far I have tried using system("alias name=xxx")
and creating a scipt with the same command in it and executing it thru system.

Neither worked, since I could not see the new alias by doing
alias
