Env - perl module that imports environment variables as scalars or arraysSYNOPSIS
use Env; use Env qw(PATH HOME TERM); use Env qw($SHELL @LD_LIBRARY_PATH);DESCRIPTION
Perl maintains environment variables in a special hash named `%ENV'. For when this access method is inconvenient, the Perl module `Env' allows environment variables to be treated as scalar or array variables. The `Env::import()' function ties environment variables with suitable names to global Perl variables with the same names. By default it ties all existing environment variables (`keys %ENV') to scalars. If the `import' function receives arguments, it takes them to be a list of variables to tie; it's okay if they don't yet exist. The scalar type prefix '$' is inferred for any element of this list not prefixed by '$' or '@'. Arrays are implemented in terms of `split' and `join', using `$Config::Config{path_sep}' as the delimiter. After an environment variable is tied, merely use it like a normal variable. You may access its value @path = split(/:/, $PATH); print join("\n", @LD_LIBRARY_PATH), "\n"; or modify it $PATH .= ":."; push @LD_LIBRARY_PATH, $dir; however you'd like. Bear in mind, however, that each access to a tied array variable requires splitting the environment variable's string anew. The code: use Env qw(@PATH); push @PATH, '.'; is equivalent to: use Env qw(PATH); $PATH .= ":."; except that if `$ENV{PATH}' started out empty, the second approach leaves it with the (odd) value "`:.'", but the first approach leaves it with "`.'". To remove a tied environment variable from the environment, assign it the undefined value undef $PATH; undef @LD_LIBRARY_PATH;LIMITATIONS
On VMS systems, arrays tied to environment variables are read-only. Attempting to change anything will cause a warning.AUTHOR
