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.

11 # Author: Charles Collins
12 #
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 #
