I am coding in Perl and I want to create Environment Variables (External to the app) specifically for this app only, however my custom ENV variables are deliberately blocked by the OS for security purposes (as described in documentation).
Environment Variables Blocked by OS Tahoe 26.4.1
You'll have to provide a whole lot more background here. What are you coding in Perl? An app? How is Perl related to it?
I'm unaware of any environment variables being blocked. If you're trying to integrate something like Perl into an app, you aren't going to be able to use basic techniques like you would in a bash or zsh shell. There is more than one way to do it, but it depends on detailed answers to those questions above.
I can’t think of a couple of cases where environment variables are dropped in a way that confuses folks:
- If the Hardened Runtime is enabled, certain dynamic linker environment variables are scrubbed.
- If you open an app from the Finder, it doesn’t pick up the environment variables you’ve set in Terminal.
However, as Etresoft said, we need more info to be able off more reliable advice.
Share and Enjoy
