Accessing SSL environment variables?

Hi,

another problem with porting an older authentication script:

The script used to fetch the certificate details set from the SSL module 
under Apache1.3 with some code like

  $r->subprocess_env;   # initialize
  $envs   = $r->subprocess_env;
  $dn     = $r->subprocess_env('SSL_CLIENT_DN');
  $cn     = $r->subprocess_env('SSL_CLIENT_CN');


it worked. 

Now, under Apache2.2, I can access only a few variables like HTTP_... or
SERVER_... variables, but not the varialbes set from the SSL module. 

(The SSL option StdEnvVars is set, the variables can be seen from PHP
programs.)

regards
Hadmut

Thanks for that hint. 

Shouldn't this be part of the mainstream apache perl module?
