 Passing a variable between shell script and perl script
I have a ksh shell script that sets a variable by taking a date input
(format CCYYMMDD) from the console and uses it to do all sorts of
stuff. The last thing the script does is to call a perl script. What I
am trying to do is to pass this date into the perl script but I don't
seem to be having any success and the published wisdom is confusing me
even more. Can someone straighten me out please?

TIA

John

Either use $ENV in the perl script or pass the variable as an argument when
calling the perl script.

 Passing a variable between shell script and perl script

Here is a one-line perl script, test.pl:

print $ARGV[0], "\n";

Here is how to call it from a shell script:

mydate="20040925 is my date"
/usr/bin/perl test.pl "$mydate"

Here is the output:

20040925 is my date

Thank goodness there are the shining lights out there prepared to help
cut through the chaff. Many thanks guys.
