Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

SetEnv / PerlSetEnv issue: msg#00464

apache.mod-perl

Subject: SetEnv / PerlSetEnv issue

Hi List,

I am running Apache with some perl scripts and currently I am passing
configuration variables using SetEnv, for example:

SetEnv FOO BAR

In the code:

my $foo_config = $ENV{FOO};

The problem is that I need to share these configuration variables with
mod_perl handlers. However in mod_perl handlers $ENV{FOO} is undef
despite the SetEnv directive.

So of course I tried PerlSetEnv so that I can use the dir_config()
method of the Apache object. But then $ENV{FOO} doesn't work in the CGI
script.

Everything works ok if I do:

SetEnv FOO BAR
PerlSetEnv FOO BAR

But I would like to avoid duplicating config values for obvious
maintenability issues...

Can anyone think of a way to doing a "super SetEnv" directive that would
set FOO in both %ENV (for CGI scripts) and in $r->dir_config() ?

Thanks for your help,
