NAME

Env::Array - perl module that imports environment variables as arrays

SYNOPSIS

  use Env::Array qw(PATH :);

DESCRIPTION

The Perl module Env::Array allows environment variables to be treated as array variables, much the way that the module Env them to be treated as scalar variables.

The Env::Array::import() function requires pairs of environment variable names and delimiter strings to be presented in the use statement. Unlike Env, there is no default behavior when no arguments are given to use (except to print an error message and die).

After an environment variable is tied, just use it like an ordinary array. Bear in mind, however, that each access to the variable requires splitting the string anew.

Requires Perl 5.005 or later for proper operation due to the use of tied arrays.
