Give up on saving the values of the program environment in Perl and simply only change the

environment in child processes.  This should help with run-tests and a couple of other reports
of environment variables disappearing.  (Doesn't help that I was using "local %ENV" wrong but
it seemed to happen to work here)

I'll work further on testing on Friday probably as I will be away Thursday.
