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.

NAME
CGI::Compile - Compile .cgi scripts to a code reference like ModPerl::Registry SYNOPSIS
use CGI::Compile; my $sub = CGI::Compile->compile("/path/to/script.cgi"); DESCRIPTION
CGI::Compile is an utility to compile CGI scripts into a code reference that can run many times on its own namespace, as long as the script is ready to run on a persistent environment. NOTE: for best results, load CGI::Compile before any modules used by your CGIs. RUN ON PSGI
Combined with CGI::Emulate::PSGI, your CGI script can be turned into a persistent PSGI application like: use CGI::Emulate::PSGI; use CGI::Compile; my $cgi_script = "/path/to/foo.cgi"; my $sub = CGI::Compile->compile($cgi_script); my $app = CGI::Emulate::PSGI->handler($sub); # $app is a PSGI application CAVEATS
If your CGI script has a subroutine that references the lexical scope variable outside the subroutine, you'll see warnings such as: Variable "$q" is not available at ... Variable "$counter" will not stay shared at ... This is due to the way this module compiles the whole script into a big "sub". To solve this, you have to update your code to pass around the lexical variables, or replace "my" with "our".
