FYI: you can set any arbitrary environment variable in recent versions of
MacPerl (5.1.5?6?) under Preferences.

On a related note, there is still a small bug in MacPerl related to these
variables.  For some reason, a blank variable in your preferences might
appear and mess up the rest of your prefs.  You cannot see this variable,
but you can click on it if it is there; or, if you add another variable,
you will notice the blank one.  This probably does not affect everyone, and
you probably won't notice it unless you have a blank entry between two
variables, or you are doing CGI stuff.
