Get rid of PERL_POLLUTE
PERL_POLLUTE was added (but undefined by default) in 5.6 to optionally expose older 5.005 symbols for backwards compatibility. It's use was always discouraged, and MakeMaker contains a more specific escape hatch: perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1 This can be used for modules that have not been upgraded to 5.6 naming conventions (and really should be completely obsolete by now).
