Perl can only change the PATH thru $ENV{PATH}. If that's not in its code, it doesn't change. Have you looked at the actual PATH? #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use CGI::Pretty qw( :standard :xhtml ); use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser ); print header(); my @rows = (); for my $var ( sort keys %ENV ){ push @rows, Tr( th({ -style=>'font-weight: bold; text-align: right; ', }, $var ), td({ -style=>'padding-left: 1em; ', }, $ENV{$var} ) ); } print start_html( '%ENV' ); print table( @rows ); print end_html(); -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn Programming is as much about organization and communication as it is about coding.
