The PATH environment variable can be accessed using the %ENV hash:
print "$ENV{PATH}";

You can change $ENV{"PATH"} in the script and it will change the PATH
for the rest of the script (and any sub-processes launched by it).

Someone else will have to help you if you want to change the system's
PATH, I don't know how to do that. Perhaps you should clarify what you
meant.
