=head1 NAME
|
||
|
|
||
|
Env - perl module that imports environment variables
|
||
|
|
||
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
||
|
use Env;
|
||
|
use Env qw(PATH HOME TERM);
|
||
|
|
||
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
||
|
Perl maintains environment variables in a pseudo-hash named %ENV. For
|
||
|
when this access method is inconvenient, the Perl module C<Env> allows
|
||
|
environment variables to be treated as simple variables.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Env::import() function ties environment variables with suitable
|
||
|
names to global Perl variables with the same names. By default it
|
||
|
does so with all existing environment variables (C<keys %ENV>). If
|
||
|
the import function receives arguments, it takes them to be a list of
|
||
|
environment variables to tie; it's okay if they don't yet exist.
|
||
|
|
||
|
After an environment variable is tied, merely use it like a normal variable.
|
||
|
You may access its value
|
||
|
|
||
|
@path = split(/:/, $PATH);
|
||
|
|
||
|
or modify it
|
||
|
|
||
|
$PATH .= ":.";
|
||
|
|
||
|
however you'd like.
|
||
|
To remove a tied environment variable from
|
||
|
the environment, assign it the undefined value
|
||
|
|
||
|
undef $PATH;
