Do you want to modify the path so that other programs launched from
within the same perl file will see that path?  Simply modify Perl's
$ENV{PATH} variable.

Do you want to modify the path so that once your perl script ends, the
path you set in the perl script remains available?  You can't.  See:
perldoc -q environment
