[sumncguy]

is there a way to define a unix library inside the system() function ?


#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w
use lib '/store/eng/tools/health.lib';


sub DGT {
system (". /store/eng/tools/health.lib;");
}
&DGT

I don't think the system call will work as it basically opens up a new process and anything you define is defined on that other process.

Is there a way to use a ksh library inside a perl script ?

I'm not sure..

How about you tell us what your trying to accomplish. Maybe it's something that perl can already do.
