Pass variable from Skill script to Perl script

Khurana

Hi,

How can I pass a variable (value) from a Skill script to a Perl script (calling Perl script from within the Skill script)?

Thanks,
Varun

    Hi Varun,

    How are you invoking the Perl script? You could pass a variable either on the command line to the perl script, or by creating a UNIX environment variable (using the SKILL function setShellEnvVar()), or you could create a file which the perl script reads. Many ways, and hard to advise which without knowing more details.

    Andrew.
