Is there a reason that a simple system() command won't work here?
my $status = system( "SET PATH=%PATH%;$new_path" );
die "Couldn't set %PATH%: $!" if $status;
Normally I'm opposed to using system commands when the task can be done
either all in Perl or with a platform- and problem- specific module, but
in this case, the cmd shell's SET command is easy to run directly, so
why not just solve the problem that way?
