You didn't specify the shell you are using but because of the ". file"
syntax I'll ass|u|me you are using sh or ksh. I will also ass|u|me you
have the correct perl code. It would have been nice if you included an
example of your setup code and perl code but....oh well. The correct way
to set up environment variables (for the shells I have used) so that child
process can see a variable is:
csh -> setenv MY_VAR value
sh -> MY_VAR=value; export MY_VAR
ksh -> export MY_VAR=value
Once you think you have the variables set the easiest way to check if they
are propagated to child processes is to start a sub-shell and have it echo
the variables like so:
oracle> MY_VAR1=var1_value
oracle> export MY_VAR2=var2_value
oracle> echo MY_VAR1=${MY_VAR1} MY_VAR2=${MY_VAR2}
MY_VAR1=var1_value MY_VAR2=var2_value
oracle> ksh -c 'echo MY_VAR1=${MY_VAR1} MY_VAR2=${MY_VAR2}'
MY_VAR1= MY_VAR2=var2_value
oracle>
I'm not a big perl person but here is a perl example:
oracle> MY_VAR1=var1_value
oracle> export MY_VAR2=var2_value
oracle> /tmp/env.pl | grep MY
MY_VAR2 = var2_value
oracle> export MY_VAR1
oracle> /tmp/env.pl | grep MY
MY_VAR1 = var1_value
MY_VAR2 = var2_value
oracle> cat /tmp/env.pl
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
foreach $key (sort keys(%ENV))
{
print "$key = $ENV{$key}\n";
}

Please respond

Hi All (Jared in particular),
OS: AIX
We are trying the following:
We have a script that executes and sets all sorts of environment variables.
Than after this we execute a perl script that reads the environment
variables, however the environment variables set in the first script are
not picked up.
We tried executing the variables script with [ . script] (dot space
scriptname) as well but still no luck.
How can we make the perl script pick up these variables?
TIA and sorry for the OT but I am not using perl so much as to join another
mailing list
Jack
