Hi, I have a csh file that calls a perl script. The perl script brings in a value that I type in when I run the csh file. I sometimes have to alter that value in the perl script, is there some way to...export that value back to the csh progam that was initially run? If not, is there some way to stop the csh program from within perl? In the perl script the value is brought into the perl file from the csh script like this:

 $|=1;                        
$stapl = shift; 
$serial = shift;

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
