RE: setting unix command through perl script

Thanks for your help.

Actually , I am automating one task in Perl in which this command is
there. If I don't execute this command then entire task would fail.
So it's very important that I should set this variable with proper value
and then start the execution of the task.

Regards,
Irfan

Hi,

maybe yes. why do you need this variable to be set/changed? tell us some
more about your objectives, please.

Hi

your "command" is executed. it changes the environment of the shell
you spawn with qx(); but after this statement your shell dies and it
seems that
nothing happend..

it is simply impossible to change the environment of a parent when
you're a
child.

maybe you can add this line to your shell configuration file.
(.bash_profile or .zshrc ...)

If I run this command on bash prompt then it is executing properly
but if I try to execute this command through perl script then it
is not executing at all

How should I achieve this . is there any another way.

Please help.

Agreed that the parent process in which perl was invoked will not
be changed
by the perl script.

What is the overall objective?

Try to do everything you need to do inside the perl script, or
everything
you need to do outside the perl script.

HTH,
Ken Wolcott

i think this is not possible.

if you start a new process (shell) it gets the environment of
its parent
process. but if you manipulate the environment in a child the
parent will
not notice this..

for example

$ bash
$ export FOO=BAR
$ echo $FOO
BAR
$ exit
$ echo $FOO

I need to execute the "export CCASE_NO_FILE_HEADER=yes"
command through Perl script.



What I did is qx(export CCASE_NO_FILE_HEADER=yes); but
still the value for CCASE_NO_FILE_HEADER is not getting
set to "yes"

With Perl you can get and set environment variables through
using %ENV
ie. $ENV{FOO} = 'bar'
