Hi All,

Please go through the following scenario:

A perl script has been invoked from shell A. Within the perl script, I
open a new terminal (say B) allowing the user set a particular variable
to his choice. The user sets the variable in this terminal and will exit
the terminal so that the perl script continues to work. 

Putting it graphically,


      A
      |
      |
      |-------
      |      |
      |      B
      |    (New Terminal)
      |    [User sets a variable]
      |
      |
   (execution of the script continues once B is over)

          
Is there a way by which Shell A can come to know of the value of the
variable set in B?
I don't know anything about IPC...can it work in this scenario?

Thanks in advance
