  Mon Oct 05 10:45:03 2009 PERRAD [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: a new option --env
I need a new option --env (or another name) which set environment variables before running test. Currently, I write something like this in a Makefile(gmake) : export LUA_PATH=;;../src/?.lua export LUA_INIT=platform = { osname=[[win32]], intsize=4 } test: prove --exec=parrot-lua *.t But export is gmake specific. So, I would write (portable on various platforms with various make utilities): test: prove \ --env "LUA_PATH=;;../src/?.lua" \ --env "LUA_INIT=platform = { osname=[[win32]], intsize=4 }" \ --exec=parrot-lua *.t Thanks. François Perrad. (fperrad on parrot)

This is what the env command does, right? I'm going to reject this ticket on the assumption that env does indeed solve your problem. Please re-open it if that's not the case.

The env utility is compliant with POSIX. But it is not available on Windows.

The OP wanted something cross-platform, which things like 'env' and 'export' are not. -- You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with 'til you understand who's in ruttin' command here. -- Jayne Cobb, "Firefly"

Ah yes - I see that now. -- Andy Armstrong, Hexten
