Re^10: Using STDIN after exec() with ActiveState Perl

Oh indeed you're right, actually it's not for the PATH environment variable that I needed the exec. It's for another environment variable which is used by the C++ library. If I set it with %ENV and I don't use exec, then the C++ library doesn't see it.

It's the unitsync library used by the Spring RTS project (https://springrts.com/). The environment variables used by this library are specific to this project (SPRING_DATADIR and SPRING_WRITEDIR).	[reply]

It should work exactly the same way `use Module::Load; ... $ENV{SPRING_DATADIR} = ...; load( "ModuleName" );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
