Hi, Eli,
Thanks for your answer !

Yes. One analysing tool need to change the path so that I can get invoked
before
the cmd of the same name. It is in written in perl and it works fine in
dos shell.
But it refuse to work when the exact same command is issue from within
gmake makefile.
nmake does not have that problem.
I have minimize the detail way to reproduce the issue here.
This is a question about how to set path environment variable in windows
from with in a gmake makefile. I use active perl but I dont think this
matters.
The perl script that cause problem is copied here:
*******************************************************************************************
$ENV{'Path'}="ABC" . ";" . $ENV{'Path'};
system("set path") == 0 or die "fail : $?: $!:"
*******************************************************************************************
And when it is executed, the output is this:
*******************************************************************************************

There are one PATH modified and one Path untouched. How can I change both

And why there are two ?
