=head1 NAME

Env - perl module that imports environment variables as scalars or arrays

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Env;
    use Env qw(PATH HOME TERM);
    use Env qw($SHELL @LD_LIBRARY_PATH);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Perl maintains environment variables in a special hash named C<%ENV>.  For
when this access method is inconvenient, the Perl module C<Env> allows
environment variables to be treated as scalar or array variables.

The C<Env::import()> function ties environment variables with suitable
names to global Perl variables with the same names.  By default it
ties all existing environment variables (C<keys %ENV>) to scalars.  If
the C<import> function receives arguments, it takes them to be a list of
variables to tie; it's okay if they don't yet exist. The scalar type
prefix '$' is inferred for any element of this list not prefixed by '$'
or '@'. Arrays are implemented in terms of C<split> and C<join>, using
C<$Config::Config{path_sep}> as the delimiter.

After an environment variable is tied, merely use it like a normal variable.
You may access its value 

    @path = split(/:/, $PATH);
    print join("\n", @LD_LIBRARY_PATH), "\n";

or modify it

    $PATH .= ":.";
    push @LD_LIBRARY_PATH, $dir;

however you'd like. Bear in mind, however, that each access to a tied array
variable requires splitting the environment variable's string anew.

The code:

    use Env qw(@PATH);
    push @PATH, '.';

is equivalent to:

    use Env qw(PATH);
    $PATH .= ":.";

except that if C<$ENV{PATH}> started out empty, the second approach leaves
it with the (odd) value "C<:.>", but the first approach leaves it with "C<.>".

To remove a tied environment variable from
the environment, assign it the undefined value

    undef $PATH;
    undef @LD_LIBRARY_PATH;

=head1 LIMITATIONS

On VMS systems, arrays tied to environment variables are read-only. Attempting
to change anything will cause a warning.
