Hi all, In a shell programming, I can run a script with a period-space in front of the script:
Eg: . script_name.scr This will cause the variables to be sourced to the parent process. In other words, any variables that are created within the child process running the script become available to the parent process when the child process completes. Without the period, the variables die with the child process. If I use the system command: Eg: system ". script_name.scr" Will the variables be available to the perl script that called the system command?
