App-Env ======= This module is useful when a Perl program must run external applications in environments specific to them. Often an application or application suite requires a specific environmental variable setup to operate correctly. App::Env provides a uniform mechanism for accessing environments and is most useful in situations where multiple applications with differing environments are to be invoked, although it is still useful in simpler contexts. App::Env may be used to simply merge (import) the application's environment directly into the current environment. It can also provide the environment as an object to provide more fine grained operations. To avoid redoing expensive setup operations environments are cached. The packaged appexec program provides this functionality for one-off command line invocations of programs.
