RE: How to set environment variable

Hi Vikram,

You are not able to access the env variable coz it is not set as you have
wished.

Do like the following.

Set environment variable using export.

export HAI=hai

and print the from your perl script.

The above command sets the environment variable in your system EVN variables
and you can use the same env variable in all subshells.

This works.

Hth,

PP.
