Using AS Perl 5.8.7 under W98SE, the PATH environment variable is
displayed, then assigned a new value; but the new value doesn't propagate
back to the MS-DOS %PATH% variable. Are the %ENV values read-only?
Many thanks to Robert, Bill, Alex, and Chris who responded to this inquiry.

down to a single hash that contains pointers to all your arrays if
that helps. Then you could use names instead of numbers (or not).
Not sure
