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).

    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.
