What's Perl equivalent of Unix export variable command

[PhillipJones]

What's Perl equivalent of Unix export variable command ?

When I run Microfocus Cobol programs under Unix I code -
Select Master_File assign to Mastin. (in cobol)
and associate the cobol filename with the Unix filename so -
export Mastin=/prod_master_file
Can I do somthing similar in Perl ?
Thankyou.

In perl read any file your user has permission to do.

I'm assuming you referring to a disk written file, so if that's the case perl can read it

If not, have a look on
