"Work" how? You placed a variable in the TEMPORARY execution ENVIRONMENT
of a command. You can tell it's an environment variable by the "-x"
in the output of declare. And since it's an environment variable, it
is therefore a string variable, because you can't export arrays.
And it doesn't persist because it's a TEMPORARY variable. It's just
there for the duration of that one command.
What are you trying to do?
