Hi Noah,
Why not use RSS? My book has a chapter on using it, or to save money you can

Setting the enviroment variable is dependant on the shell

The environment var you set is only available to the perl program and any
child processes it produces.
Try calling the Tecplot macros from within your perl program using system()
