Remember, a child process inherits the variables exported by the parent,
and not the other way around.
So this what I do:
export foo="la", bar="bar", koobi="momoni"
then in your Perl script, you have read in these variables
as:
#!/opt/local/bin/perl
my $aa = $ENV{foo};
my $bb = $ENV{bar};
my $cc = $ENV{koobi};
print "\n foo = $aa, bar = $bb, koobi=$cc\n\n";
