APM: One liner to get hash from an environment list

[Wayne Walker]

Someone pointed out the %config = %ENV; solution.  The point was a small
clean config file parser.  we used env to generate shell type config
data as an example, not for actual application of the concept.

This is more clearly useful to those who weren't at the meeting.  Boom,
no foreach loop, nothing complex.

%config = map { /(.*?)=['"]?(.*)['"]?/ } qx(cat /etc/defaults/some_prog_env.sh);

This should parse any valid bourne shell syntax key=value config file
into a hash.
