Error Help needed in calling path file from Perl script.

Hi All,
I need help in accessing a path file (path.xyz_pqr) not having a shell shebang and exporting paths in the following syntax,

export DB_SCRIPT_PATH="/abc/aash/scripts/db_scripts/xyz_pqr"
export SRC_FILES_DIR="/bcd/fdw/incoming/xyz_pqr"

I need to use the path contained in the DB_SCRIPT_PATH variable.
Tried using system, `` and exec also referred to earlier posts like

https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...ent-shell.html
but could not get it working. Smilie
The path.xyz_pqr file works when called using ./path/of/path.xyz_pqr file on the command prompt but not through my perl script.
I am currently working on /usr/bin/sh shell. Please help m ein calling this path file in my Perl script and using the DB_SCRIPT_PATH variable in my Perl script for getting the path stored in it.
Thanks Smilie

NAME
simplify - a script to simplify a MIME message SYNOPSIS
simplify [args ...] < message > othermessage DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the simplify command. simplify is a Perl script to simplify a MIME message. This script never loads the entire message into memory, but does dump it's entire contents to disk once. OPTIONS
mime=no Don't use MIME, no HTML mail allowed. testing=yes Run in testing mode (suppress randonmess) saveall=yes Save all attachments to files. temp=/path/to/working/dir/ Defaults to /tmp. url=http://box/path/ URL-prefix for printing paths to attachments header=text... Text preceding the attachment URL list. textsig=/path/to/file Text signature to append to text parts. htmlsig=/path/to/file HTML signature to append to HTML parts. If "saveall" is yes, then the script will save all attachments to disk so people can access their contents later. If an URL is specified then that automatically implies "saveall=yes". Without this, the default behavior is to only save text and html parts, and delete them and all working directories when the script is finished. SEE ALSO
