You can't set an ENV vrbl for other than children of the tassk that's
setting it. So if you want to run a task with it set prior, you can
either set it in this task (which will export it to the child) or
you can try combining the setenv and task execution in a single shell
command line.
1) (set ENV in shell)
$ENV{HTTP_proxy} = "http://myCompany.proxy.com:8080";;
system "<execute command>";
# or
my $result = `<execute command>`;
2) (single combined line)
my $result = `setenv HTTP_proxy "http://myCompany.proxy.com:8080";; <execute
another command here>`;
3) (a variation with explicit shell call)
system qq{<path-to-tcsh>/tcsh -c "setenv HTTP_proxy
\"http://myCompany.proxy.com:8080\";; <execute another command here>};
You can play with these for your best fit.
