in reply to Setting TERMINAL_EMULATOR to vt100

It won't work anyway because system forks another process to run so your command is executed in that new process and updates the environment of that new process. The new process then exits and the settings you have made are lost :-}

One thing to try (I've not tested this) is to update the @ENV array. But if you are using it to have a perl script update your settings then before running something else you will find that the changes are again lost when the script exits.
