How does one go about assuring that the environment variables are properly set in perl? I read several books, but none go in depth about how to write a script that includes all the required variables, that way nothing gets left out.
 
Please advise.

$ENV{"ORACLE_HOME"}="/orav101/oracle/8.1.7";

use strict;
use DBI;
