setting environment-variablesby tos (Deacon) |

tos has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi Monks, what's to do for assigning a perl-script-result to a Windows/DOS-box-environmentvariable ? On unix i can do it with the perl-script enclosed in backquotes. like For the DOS-box i don't know a similar statement. Or does there perhaps exist a special perl-way to set environment-vars in the calling (father-) process ? thanks p.s.: does "foobar" mean something special or is it merely a nonsense word ? I read it a dozen times in computer literature. And the guys in Spielbergs "Private Ryan" often used it, too.
