Re^4: Convert Shell script to Perl

in reply to Re^3: Convert Shell script to Perl
in thread Convert Shell script to Perl

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';

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';

I get a message saying - 'Can't open perl script "$ENV":no such file or directory

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]
