in reply to Case insensitive keys in global %ENV

Are you really sure it is a good idea to mess around %ENV and make it all uppercase on such a wholesale basis? There may be other programs or routines which expect the %ENV not to be changed like that.

It seems very strange to me that these other programs (can you give an example?) require uppercase %ENV only. Do these programs require the keys or the values or both of %ENV to be in uppercase?

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
