This is a bit gruesome:


    +    delete $ENV{PGCHANNELBINDING};
    +    delete $ENV{PGCLIENTENCODING};
         delete $ENV{PGCONNECT_TIMEOUT};
         delete $ENV{PGDATA};
         delete $ENV{PGDATABASE};
    +    delete $ENV{PGGSSENCMODE};
    +    delete $ENV{PGGSSLIB};
         delete $ENV{PGHOSTADDR};
    +    delete $ENV{PGKRBSRVNAME};
    +    delete $ENV{PGPASSFILE};
    +    delete $ENV{PGPASSWORD};
    +    delete $ENV{PGREQUIREPEER};
         delete $ENV{PGREQUIRESSL};
         delete $ENV{PGSERVICE};
    +    delete $ENV{PGSERVICEFILE};
    +    delete $ENV{PGSSLCERT};
    +    delete $ENV{PGSSLCRL};
    +    delete $ENV{PGSSLCRLDIR};
    +    delete $ENV{PGSSLKEY};
    +    delete $ENV{PGSSLMAXPROTOCOLVERSION};
    +    delete $ENV{PGSSLMINPROTOCOLVERSION};
         delete $ENV{PGSSLMODE};
    +    delete $ENV{PGSSLROOTCERT};
    +    delete $ENV{PGSSLSNI};
         delete $ENV{PGUSER};
         delete $ENV{PGPORT};
         delete $ENV{PGHOST};



Let's change it to something like:


    my @scrubkeys = qw ( PGCHANNELBINDING

       PGCLIENTENCODING PGCONNECT_TIMEOUT PGDATA

       ...

        );

    delete @ENV{@scrubkeys};


cheers
