I would guess you are actually asking about exporting system environment variables?
I'm new to this but here's my idea, setting them on the system directly, using PATH as an example: `PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/perl` `export $PATH` or maybe `export PATH=/usr/bin:/etc:.` I don't do a lot with env vars, and shells are all different, mileage may vary, etc. -=GLA=- -----Original Message----- From: Kingsbury, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 2:50 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Env for Cmds run in backticks Is there a way to export perl variables for use when run in backticks? -mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
