Re^2: Convert Shell script to Perl

I guess..I know that $ENV is similar to a hashmap and has a key and a value...

$ENV {'LIBDIR'}='$MY_XALANHOME/bin';
[download]

seems to be the correct way to set that. Please confirm. What I am not sure is - should I also set the JAVACMD as an environment variable using $ENV ? Thanks...

This is my current code: `use strict; use warnings; $ENV {'LIBDIR'}='$MY_XALANHOME/bin'; $ENV {'LOCALCLASSPATH'}='$ENV{LIBDIR}:/xalan.jar'; $ENV {'LOCALCLASSPATH'}='$ENV{LOCALCLASSPATH}:$ENV{LIBDIR}/xml-apis.ja +r'; $ENV {'LOCALCLASSPATH'}='$ENV{LOCALCLASSPATH}:$ENV{LIBDIR}/xercesImpl. +jar';` [download] I've commented out the JAVACMD lines. When I run this on the cmd line say - perl a.pl this does not give me any errors. But I should be able to find these env variables in the command window - I cannot. I've also simply tried this on the command line `perl $ENV{'LIBDIR'}='C:\somefolder';` [download] I get a message saying - 'Can't open perl script "$ENV":no such file or directory	[reply] [d/l] [select]

But I should be able to find these env variables in the command window No. That's a FAQ, both a Unix FAQ and a Perl one (see perlfaq8). See also: export environment variable from a perl program.	[reply]
