Re: Perl/Bash Common Variable Question

Not quite the right place for this question. Better ask in comp.lang.perl.*.

However, perldoc perlvar:

       %ENV  
       $ENV{expr}
                The hash %ENV contains your current environment.
                Setting a value in ENV changes the environment for
                child processes.

Your friends are perldoc perlvar:

       @INC    The array @INC contains the list of places to look
               for Perl scripts to be evaluated by the do EXPR,
               require, or use constructs.  It initially consists               
               of the arguments to any -I command line switches,
               followed by the default Perl library, probably
               /usr/local/lib/perl, followed by ".", to represent
               the current directory.  If you need to modify this
               at runtime, you should use the use lib pragma to
               get the machine-dependent library properly loaded
               also:
 
                   use lib '/mypath/libdir/';
                   use SomeMod;                                                 

and perldoc lib:

NAME
       lib - manipulate @INC at compile time
