4     # This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
5     # compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
6     #
7     # In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
8     # programming techniques.

13     # Description:
14     # This routine takes a shell script and 'dots' it into the current perl
15     # environment. This makes it possible to use existing system scripts
16     # to alter environment variables on the fly.
17     #
18     # Usage:
19     # &dotsh ('ShellScript', 'DependentVariable(s)');
20     #
21     # where
22     #
23     # 'ShellScript' is the full name of the shell script to be dotted
24     #
25     # 'DependentVariable(s)' is an optional list of shell variables in the
26     # form VARIABLE=VALUE,VARIABLE=VALUE,... that 'ShellScript' is
27     # dependent upon. These variables MUST be defined using shell syntax.
28     #
29     # Example:
30     # &dotsh ('/foo/bar', 'arg1');
31     # &dotsh ('/foo/bar');
32     # &dotsh ('/foo/bar arg1 ... argN');
33     #
