Capturing Data From a Script File and Setting Environment Variables

[John Bobinyec]

I have several perl scripts which develop information which is to be used as environmental variables in subsequent parts of the build. 

How do I:

1. Pass the information back from the perl script to the main build program?
2. Once the main program has the information, set up environment variables with these values so subsequent script files can use them?

Thanks,

jb

I would start with the https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/EnvInject+Plugin

if your perl scripts write a simple key-value properties file, this plugin can read it to create environment variables that you can use in subsequent tasks or builds. 

hope this helps
