I thought it returned a C string, and I thought strings in C are all null-terminated.

Subject: RE: %str() use discouraged?
The getenv function returns a pointer to a string (doc doesn't say null-terminated string)
So, my assumption is that the %str function is useless with getenv Just this will work too:
getenv('some_var')='some_value';
From documentation:
Return Value
value getenv() successfully found the environment string. The value returned is a pointer to the string containing the value for the specified name in the current environment.
NULL getenv() could not find the environment string. The errno variable is set to indicate the error.
