Begin by creating a Shell::Source object, and specifying the shell it will use. If the shell is unknown to the module, you will also need to specify how to run the shell in such a way that the output is a series of lines of the form NAME=value. For example, to run a csh script: my $csh = Shell::Source->new(shell => "csh", file => "stuff.csh", run => "csh -f -c 'source [[file]]; env' |"); However, for known shells this is not required. Note that [[file]] will be replaced with the filename of the program you want to run. Output from running the program is returned from $csh->output. Changes made to the environment by running the program may be inherited by calling $csh->inherit. The environment changes are available as a hash from $csh->env, or in Bourne shell syntax from $csh->shell. BUGS Huh?
