Manipulating env variables for user apache?

So that they can be used in a cgi script? How best to do this? Thanks

---------- Post updated at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:38 AM ----------

Anyone that can help me with this?

Basically I want to add an environment variable that will be visible to the cgi scripts when I run them from the browser. Since they get run as user apache, I don't know how to directly do this.

I read a couple articles that discusses this stuff.

Environment Variables in Apache
Apache module mod_env

Would anyone object to PassEnv <environment variable> in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf? If not then I'll probably go ahead with it.

"day" must be in the range 1..31; "yr" must be specified including century (e.g. "2003"). "hour" must be specified using a 24-hour clock. All of the processing involved in generating the report is done by invoking bbgen(1) with the proper "--snapshot" option. OPTIONS
