in reply to Populate CGI from HTTP::Request wo/ using %ENV ?

You could use local *ENV; to remove the magic from %ENV, making it a normal per-thread variable.

    Ah, yes! Thnx! Alas, I'll have to copy out the current %ENV into a temp, then copy back into the local'ized version, but that still makes things much easier.

      You can skip the temp:
      local *ENV = { %ENV };

      Just to be clear, child processes and forks won't see any change made to %ENV while this local is in effect.
