Possible Duplicate: Exporting an Environment Variable in Ruby I need to set several environment

Possible Duplicate:
Exporting an Environment Variable in Ruby

I need to set several environment properties from inside of ruby script.

Normally, in bash, I do the following:

$ export SOME_VAR=some_value

But in ruby, following (obviously) doesn’t work:

irb(main):002:0> `export SOME_VAR=some_value`
(irb):2: command not found: export ASDF=1
=> ""

Is there a way to do it?

    According to http://ruby.about.com/od/rubyfeatures/a/envvar.htm, you can just write:

    ENV['SOME_VAR'] = 'some_value'
