description:
Perl: removed special environment handling for the perl module.

In Perl 5.8.6 the default was switched to use putenv() when used as
embedded library unless "PL_use_safe_putenv = 0" is explicitly used
in the code.  Therefore, for modern versions of Perl it is no longer
necessary to restore previous environment when calling perl_destruct().
