environment

[Thomas Glass <gl...@yahoo.com>]

Hi everyone,I'm having a problem and I wonder if you
guys couldhelp me out:
I have a script whose behaviour depends on the main
path environment variable (and a cookie). The problem
is that after a couple of reloads, the environment
variables seem to get cached and the result comes out
-obviously- wrong. I guess my question is:
Is there any way to ensure that the script will get
the right environment variables? maybe something in
the apache configuration file?

i don't like to rely on %ENV in a mod_perl environment.  there are just so
many better ways of doing this using the Apache API we have....but:

http://perl.apache.org/guide/control.html#Wrapper_to_Emulate_the_Server_En

i'd recommend doing things w/PerlSetVar and such:
