I'm new to perl and was wondering if anybody could give me some
pointers on how to set a shell environmental variable, specifically
HOME, using perl. I've tried:
$ENV{'HOME'} = /foo
but it doesn't seem to work, leading me to suspect that perhaps $ENV
is read-only.
If anybody could point me in the right direction, I'd really
appreciate it.
Thanks,
Leonard
