in thread Issue with env variables set through dos batch

Very true...that is exactly the behavior I'm observing in the windows cmd window. How do I get the env. variables to stay put ? Running the perl script from a batch script is not right now an option for me.

I you want some ENV variables to apply to any command line window, Go to Control Panel|System|Environment Variables, change them and then set them "to apply to all future command line windows". This is for example, how you would set "PATH" to be persistent.

If this is a "one off" thing, then I would pass special settings as part of @ARG.
