This is the 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';

When I run the perl program from the command line using - perl abc.pl - I don't get any error messages. When I run the following command from the commandline:

perl $ENV{'LIBDIR'}='C:\SOMEFOLDER';

I get a message saying - can't open perl script "$ENV": no such file or directory. I would've expected to create a new environment variable called LIBDIR with the c:\somefolder as the value ? Thanks
