One of a couple of more questions. But to preface, thanks for all the help
so far
I have a shell program with creates/changes the caller's environment.
I want to call this from a perl program (and have the environment setup)
but
the changes never exist after the execution. The script is being called,
and during the script I do some "echo"s and everything is fine. Can't I do
this??? for example
# cat tmp
#!/opt/perl/bin/perl -w
`. setOraProfile`;
foreach (sort keys %ENV) {
print "$_\n";
}
# ./tmp
COLUMNS
EDITOR
ERASE
HISTFILE
HOME
LINES
LOGNAME
MANPATH
PATH
PWD
SHELL
TERM
TZ
I should see various ORACLE_ variables.
