4# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
5# compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.

13# Description:
14# This routine takes a shell script and 'dots' it into the current perl
15# environment. This makes it possible to use existing system scripts
16# to alter environment variables on the fly.
17#
18# Usage:
19# &dotsh ('ShellScript', 'DependentVariable(s)');
