in thread UNIX environment setup via perl
You can't manipulate environment variables for your parent processes. Why? It's a security concern.
But: Your shell can use the output of your perl programm to set it's own environment:
# perl -lw print "export FOO=bar"; # assuming bourne-compatible shell
Later in your (parent) shell:
$ eval `your_perl_script.pl` $ echo $FOO bar $
