My mistake. Whereas Korn shell (ksh) supports the syntax you are using:

export ENVVAR=value

Bourne shell (sh) doesn't, instead preferring:

ENVVAR=value; export ENVVAR

Perl is undoubtably running the command using the default Bourne shell (sh). Try specifying Korn shell in your shebang (you may have to modify the path depending upon where ksh is located on your system):

#!/bin/ksh

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
