Philippe, please inline the patches, so we could comment on these.

According to perlsec manpage this is what should be done:

           $ENV{'PATH'} = '/bin:/usr/bin';
           delete @ENV{'IFS', 'CDPATH', 'ENV', 'BASH_ENV'};

hence in this particular case the patch should be:

  local %ENV;
  delete @ENV{ qw(PATH IFS CDPATH ENV BASH_ENV) };
