Please, respect others' opinion as we respect yours ones. You do not need
to
insult anybody. I also specify "unless". If people is using PAR because they
are not
impacted by the few issue around you mentioned, that's excellent!!. That would
mean
PAR is a very good and stable software. Which it does not mean it can not be
improved.

As you stated, it seems there are a few issues. If perl code is not using
this
construction, PAR will be perfect and it is a great application to deploy and
to use.
What I'm saying here is that perl is using for a lot of scripts by managing and
parsing
other programs and modifying environment seems to be quite critical for this
kind of scripts.
That's why I consider this bug as important.
> Documentation patches welcome.
Thanks for the offering. That's really the spirit of free code and that's
why I opened this
bug. Unfortunally, I am not pretty sure I have the right skills to modify the
source code because
I'm not an expert on PAR source code.
