Re: Re: A case for environmental conservation?

Thanks for the concern, but I have the state-based authentication all figured out. And just so you know, it is possible to add hashrefs to the %ENV. I've done it nested four levels deep with no problem. PS: How did I spell "environmental" before?

And just so you know, it is possible to add hashrefs to the %ENV. Oops! That will break Perl's multi-platform portability. %ENV is tied to the operating system's environment handling. This will definitely break on VMS, as %ENV is implemented in logical name tables, which are strange beasts (to the non-VMS hacker).	[reply]

Whoa! That's good to know. I never expected portability issues with the use of a simple variable. On the other hand i don't see myself working on a machine with VMS in the near future, but you never know.	[reply]
