renaming ENV hash in Perl

Can we rename the ENV hash in perl ?
Please tell us how.

Rename it? Why?

We can access environment variables with $ENV{"name"}.
But , we need to access it as $Dict{"name"}, that's what I meant
when I said renaming ENV.
Please get us a solution.

How's this:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

my $Dict = \%ENV;

print "$$Dict{HOME}\n";

# OR

print "$Dict->{HOME}\n";
