Hi,
I'm looking for a possibility to make variables of the shell public to child processes.
Usually I would try
set -a
but an error message appears:
./decrypt.pgm: -a^M: bad option(s)
where decrypt.pgm is the name of the shell script.
Any help welcome!
Cheers Martin

^M causes the error message, did you copy this file from a microsoft platform?

You're right! I used an freeware editor, which caused this problem. I fixed it with vi, but the export still doesn't work.
I can see the vars in the shell script, but as soon a I export the vars an start the perl script, I the vars in are empty.
I now use export 'cause I need all vars of the shell environment.
export SCRIPT_PATH
Any help welcome!
Cheers Martin
