What shell are you using?
Assuming you're using bash, there are at least two ways:

 % export BROWSER="/usr/bin/browser"
 % ./pan

and

  % BROWSER="/usr/bin/browser" ./pan

The former says "set this variable until I change it or
the shell closes"; the latter says "set this variable until
the next shell prompt."
