Re: Using System to read mixed cased environment variables on Windows

All of the keys of %ENV are capitalized for Windows as the environment variable
names aren't case-sensitive.


However, I'm finding that system() honours case-preservation. From my
reply to the same thread in comp.lang.perl.misc:

C:\>set MyTest=C:\MyTest

C:\>set MyTest
MyTest=C:\MyTest

C:\>perl -e "system(\"set MyTest\")"
MyTest=C:\MyTest

C:\>set MITEST=C:\MiTest

C:\>perl -e "system(\"set MiTest\")"
MITEST=C:\MiTest

Cheers,
Rob
