But the "PATH" environment variable already has the export attribute on
it, so it is exported either way.

Furthermore, I'm bewildered w.r.t. what is the question/goal here? If
you set some variable in a script, it will never modify the environment
of the *parent process*, only the script itself, and child processes
started by the script.

Have I completely misunderstood the question?
