Environment variables can be set by scripts or from the
registry. You could use regedit to make sure it is not coming
from the registry (e.g., if you find a setting, change the name
to "REG_PERL5LIB" so you can know where it came from).
You can also try using the normal mechanism to force it to
a value that will work for TL2008.
