28 Env::Sanctify is a module that provides lexically scoped manipulation
29 and sanctification of %ENV.
30
31 You can specify that it alter or add additional environment variables
32 or remove existing ones according to a list of matching regexen.
33
34 You can then either "restore" the environment back manually or let the
35 object fall out of scope, which automagically restores.
36
37 Useful for manipulating the environment that forked processes and sub-
38 processes will inherit.

41 "sanctify"
42 Creates an Env::Sanctify object. Takes two optional arguments:
43
44 'env', a hashref of env vars to add to %ENV;
45 'sanctify', an arrayref of regex pattern strings to match against current %ENV vars;
46
47 Any %ENV var that matches a "sanctify" regex is removed from the
48 resultant %ENV.
49
51 "restore"
52 Explicitly restore the previous %ENV. This is called automagically
53 when the object is "DESTROY"ed, for instance, when it goes out of
54 scope.
55
57 It has been reported that redefining the Env::Sanctify object causes
58 unexpected behaviour.

75 This script outputs:
