Call a .bat from a PERL script

I want to call a .bat file [c:\clients\setenvironment.bat] from a .pl file/script. This .bat sets a bunch of path environmental variables; set DC_Home = C:\app\bin

....

My .pl says system("C:/clients/setenvironment.bat")

It appears to run... it shows all the proper lines on the screen.. but if you then echo out one of the variables you simply get the variable's name... It does not actually SET the path etc.

Any ideas?
