>Description:

Triggered by investigating a failing perl test on -current:

perl -e '$ENV{TZ} = "GMT-5"; ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(); print "$hour\n";$ENV{TZ} = "GMT+5"; ($sec,$min,$hour2,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(); print "$hour2\n";'
20
20

This should print two hour values 10 hours apart and does so on netbsd-6, but
fails in -current and netbsd-7.

Note that a proper C test program (either using setenv(3) or putenv(3)) does
work:

#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

static void test(void)
{
        time_t now;
        struct tm *t;

        time(&now);
        t = localtime(&now);
        printf("hour: %d\n", t->tm_hour);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        putenv("TZ=GMT-5");
        test();
        putenv("TZ=GMT+5");
        test();
        return 0;
}


Perl seems to manualy play games with "environ".
