NAME

       Env::Sanctify - Lexically scoped sanctification of %ENV

VERSION

       version 1.12

SYNOPSIS

         my $sanctify = Env::Sanctify->sanctify( sanctify => [ '^POE' ] );

         # do some stuff, fork some processes etc.

         $sanctify->restore

         {

           my $sanctify = Env::Sanctify->sanctify( env => { POE_TRACE_DEFAULT => 1 } );

           # do some stuff, fork some processes etc.
         }

         # out of scope, %ENV is back to normal

DESCRIPTION

       Env::Sanctify is a module that provides lexically scoped manipulation and sanctification
       of %ENV.

       You can specify that it alter or add additional environment variables or remove existing
       ones according to a list of matching regexen.

       You can then either "restore" the environment back manually or let the object fall out of
       scope, which automagically restores.

       Useful for manipulating the environment that forked processes and sub-processes will
       inherit.

CONSTRUCTOR

       "sanctify"
           Creates an Env::Sanctify object. Takes two optional arguments:

             'env', a hashref of env vars to add to %ENV;
             'sanctify', an arrayref of regex pattern strings to match against current %ENV vars;

           Any %ENV var that matches a "sanctify" regex is removed from the resultant %ENV.

METHODs

       "restore"
           Explicitly restore the previous %ENV. This is called automagically when the object is
           "DESTROY"ed, for instance, when it goes out of scope.

CAVEATS

       It has been reported that redefining the Env::Sanctify object causes unexpected behaviour.

         use strict;
         use warnings;

         use Env::Sanctify;

         $ENV{TEST} = 'Test thing';

         my $sanctify = Env::Sanctify->sanctify( sanctify => [ 'TEST' ] );

         printf "My ENV{TEST}: %s\n", $ENV{TEST};

         $sanctify = Env::Sanctify->sanctify( env => { TEST => 'Other answer' } );

         printf "My ENV{TEST}: %s\n", $ENV{TEST};

       This script outputs:

         My ENV{TEST}:
         My ENV{TEST}: Test thing
