Item6583: mod_perl error: %ENV is aliased to another variable while running with -T switch

TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

%ENV is aliased to another variable while running with -T switch

It seems the issue is the following code in LoginManager/Session.pm:

sub load {
    my $this = shift;
    local %ENV;

If I remove the local definition for %ENV the error does never show up. The people from FosWiki have noticed this too (see http://foswiki.org/Tasks/Item691 and http://trac.foswiki.org/changeset/1873) and removed the definition.

I suggest that the offending line is also removed but an impact analysis for that change may be necessary.

It looks like a safe change to remove the line.

Please go ahead and comment out the line, adding the bug item, such as:

# local %ENV; # TWikibug:Item6583 - commented out

Fix commited as described and ready for release in next minot update.

Thanks. For bug fixes please keep trunk and latest branch in sync as much as possible. Could you make this change to TWiki-5.0 branch as well?

OK, I'm getting the hang of this. Change to TWikiRelease05x00 branch commited as well.
