accessing SSL environment data in Perl*Handler
Though I feel rather foolish, the fact remains that I can't seem to
find my SSL environment variables.
httpd.conf has
<Directory />
SSLVerifyClient require
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
# ...
</Directory>
Exactly when and where are they set? For example, SSL_CLIENT_S_DN. Once
set, shouldn't I be able to just say $ENV{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN}?
My PerlPostReadRequestHandler can't seem to see them, but I figure
that's just because they haven't been set yet. I can't find when
they're set anywhere in the docs. (I probably haven't looked in the
right place, but it's not for lack of trying. =o)
Input, anyone?

In the fixup handler.

Yes, because it is run before the fixup handler. You must use a sub
request to get the values.

mod_ssl doesn't setup its variables until the fixup stage, you need to run
a subrequest to get at them eariler. the auth chapter at www.modperl.com
has a specific example.
