Wrench Source.cshrc file inside Perl
I have a file which is basically .cshrc
It contains lines such as:

Code:
setenv <variable> <value>...
                                      set path=(<dir> <dir>)
                                      source <another_file>

I can run this file using source from the shell.
But I cannot do it from perl.. except from creating another file which is perl-executable using do, or parsing the file and using ENV{}, which I don't want to do.

I just simple want to source this .cshrc in my Perl script
I tried so many methods ... Nothing is working

Thanks
Kshitij

I'm afraid you need to call your Perl script from a shell script which sources your environmental changes or else mangle the %ENV hash.
