How does Perl handle environment variables specifically?

I noticed that inside the preferences there is a resource:

   data 'STR#' (129) {
      $"0002 0555 5345 523D 2154 4D50 4449 523D"            /* ....USER=!TMPDIR= */
        $"436C 6173 7369 6361 6C3A 5465 6D70 6F72"            /* Classical:Tempor */
      $"6172 7920 4974 656D 733A"                           /* ary Items: */
   }; 

I was wondering what people would think if this information was put into a seperate
preference file called ENVIRONMENT.  I would like to share this information amongst
other applications, such as tcl/tk scripts that may call perl scripts that may call 
python
scripts and so on.

Also, it might be easier to make a port of PerlTk using the tcl/tk.

PS - I am trying to play around with the tcl/tk stuff.  They have a really bad build
system now.  It requires a very old version of CodeWarrior and doesn't work with 
MPW. :-\
