RE: [MacPerl] Delivering ENV variables and standard input

["Joseph A. DiVerdi" <diverdi@XTRsystems.com>]

Tim,

Thanks for your quick response.

It looks like setting via Preferences fits my current needs. I'll just 
set each of the variables that I wish to emulate and also set STDIN to 
point to a file on my desktop containing some relevant test data.
