Keeping changes to %ENV in Win32 process

[jeffeld]

Hi,

I have a couple of scripts where I want to keep changes made to the
process environment variables after the perl script ends.

e.g.

In jeff.pl

$ENV{JEFF}="FOO";

and then in a Win32 .cmd file

perl jeff.pl
echo %JEFF%

Is this possible? If not, what would be a better way to return a simple
status to the command shell for processing after the script has ended.

Thanks,
Jeff

Please check the Perl FAQ *before* posting!!
perldoc -q environment

Why aren't you just using the exit status from your program?

perldoc -f exit

Excellent. Thank you.

And I'm off to read the FAQ now.
