And TM_PACKAGE comes out blank.
what am I doing wrong?
You need to put a \ last on the line with sed. This makes all the variable settings appear on the same line as perl, so perl inherits these variables.
The alternative is to prefix each variable setting with ‘export’ so that the variable gets exported to subprocesses.
