Hello everyone, I'm using PAR to package Rakubrew (a Raku installation and versioning tool)= =20 on Windows and MacOS. I'm grateful for how easy and reliable PAR is. Thanks! Rakubrew can act as a shim wrapper that forwards its call to other programs= =2E=20 PAR modifies several environment variables amongst others DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH= =2E I=20 suspect that the change to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH can have unwanted side effects= for=20 the called program with respect to dynamically loading C libraries. Thus I'd like to make Rakubrew reset the environment to its original state= =20 before doing the final "exec". I'm grateful for any clues on how to best=20 approach this. Is there any place, where the original untouched environment is persisted? Are the variables PAR adds and the ones it modifies (and how) available=20 programmatically? Is there any chance I can hook into PAR to save the environment before PAR= =20 starts changing things? My last resort would be to hard code variable names to remove and revert th= e=20 changes to variables it modified with some regex-foo or similar. But I'd mu= ch=20 prefer a different solution. Thanks in advance for any hints! Kind regards, Patrick B=F6ker
