Re: running sh script from perl script

[coreolyn]

When referencing any code in your questions you should utilize <CODE> tags.

Now that thats out of the way, just dump using the sh script and update your variables via the %ENV hash as in $ENV{'JAVA_HOME'} etc.. However if sourcing existing sh files is mandantory, read the source file via your Perl script and regex for the name=value pairs and update the %ENV based on your results.

Thanks...i found the porblem in my perl script....i was using

$ENV{$key} = chomp($value};

Whicc is wrong. i should have used

chomp($value);
$ENV{$key} = $value;
