#
#   Description:
#      This routine takes a shell script and 'dots' it into the current perl
#      environment. This makes it possible to use existing system scripts
#      to alter environment variables on the fly.
#
#   Usage:
#      &dotsh ('ShellScript', 'DependentVariable(s)');
#
#         where
#
#      'ShellScript' is the full name of the shell script to be dotted
#
#      'DependentVariable(s)' is an optional list of shell variables in the
#         form VARIABLE=VALUE,VARIABLE=VALUE,... that 'ShellScript' is
#         dependent upon. These variables MUST be defined using shell syntax.
#
#   Example:
#      &dotsh ('/tmp/foo', 'arg1');
#      &dotsh ('/tmp/foo');
#      &dotsh ('/tmp/foo arg1 ... argN');
#
