The issue was that PERL_ENV_TABLES is currently defined /SYSTEM to be
CRTL_ENV,LNM$PROCESS on my server. Mark set it up that way for reasons
which escape us both at the moment :-) I'm tempted to simply DEASSIGN
the PERL_ENV_TABLES logical to fix my problem, but first I have to work
out what this might break,
