It broke the build on VMS. I discovered that this morning, and I am
currently building blead-perl with a quick fix to configure.com.
Long term, a better fix than what I am testing is needed.
VMS since V7.0 supports unsetenv(). The problem is that VMS/Perl
implemented it's mapping of $ENV{} differently.
Specifically, VMS/Perl maps VMS logical names, VMS DCL symbols, and
"real" environment variables all to $ENV hashes.
The VMS/Perl method is incompatible with the GNV product which requires
only "real" environment variables, and in order to get Perl to fully
work with GNV, I have to get all that sorted out.
GNV is a BASH shell and some common GNU utilities.
