This is correct. The line

system("set monkeylikes=flinging poo");

sets %monkeylikes% for that system call only. You would need Win32::AdminMisc to set the variable permanently, or do

$ENV{'MonkeyLikes'} = "bananas";
print "$ENV{'MonkeyLikes'}\n";
system("echo %monkeylikes%");
$ENV{'MonkeyLikes'} = "flinging poo";
system("echo %monkeylikes%");

for on-the-fly while-the-script-executes kind-of stuff. It yields

bananas
bananas
flinging poo

I believe from the parent post that this is what you are looking for, but that is just my opinion. I could be wrong.
