Hi Vikram, You are not able to access the env variable coz it is not set as you have wished.
Do like the following. Set environment variable using export. export HAI=hai and print the from your perl script. The above command sets the environment variable in your system EVN variables and you can use the same env variable in all subshells. This works. Hth, Regards, PP. -----Original Message----- From: vikram vikram vikram [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2007 8:18 PM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: How to set environment variable Hi All, I am new to perl.
