persistent after Perl exits.

Thanks, applied. What subsequent tests were failing as a result of this?
It was breaking lib/I18N/LangTags/t/80_all_env.t.
It may also have been affecting the cpanplus tests.
It looks like it is only a problem when running the tests individually
as the test harness runs things in a subprocess.
It looks like setting C<$ENV{foo} = ''> may have a problem on VMS, as I
am seeing some issues when value is read and then restored.
