How to export a new java version path in perl?

anklos

Hi, everyone~

I met a problem: the defualt java version on the unix sever is 1.4, but I'd like to export the 1.6 version on the sever (the 1.6 java exists on the sever)

I wrote the code like this in perl:
It works when I just command "export PATH=/usr/java1.6/bin:$PATH" on the shell, but when I run the code I wrote, the sever reposed me:
Could anyone help me?
Thanks a lot in advance.

First please put all code in Code tags,

2nd. try

or

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this happens because $PATH is a Perl ENV var, its set for the path of perl & you are processing that var. to cancel that in perl you must use single quotes ' or ` or cancel that $ by \$PATH.

Thanks for your reply, but both of your methods dont work. I know $PATH is a perl env var, and I use quotes ' ', if using quotes " ", I have to write code like \$PATH

But have you tried using backtick's thats `System command`

example:

also what errors are you getting or what output.

try this:

No, they dont work. I also have another question, if my current directory is /mount/autofs/home_mbc/sniu, and I run code like this:

it will repoonse and print out "/mount/autofs/home_mbc/sniu/myperl", but the directory wont change to /mount/autofs/home_mbc/sniu/myperl, it is still /mount/autofs/home_mbc/sniu

also you are using the wrong format for system command its better to use

it depends on the user that your running perl on, does it have access to myperl?

also are you running perl via CGI or just in CLI ?

that will cd in the shell, not in your perl script. Use the chdir() function.

Kevin is right, i'm not awake today,

also what are you trying to do?

this will help us more, i know you want to set the path for java but the second topic

I see! Thank you !
Is that also the same reason that I cant export java version? Because the command is for shell, not for perl script?

I believe so. You may want to look at the %ENV variables if you need to add something to perls path environment at run time.
