My guess, considering that the Perl script is calling the csh script that it not only can execute it, but also read it. If you pre-read the csh script prior to execution, you may be able to grab the vars from there. In some cases, the csh script may `include' other scripts that may set up the env themselves. In this case, since you do have read access to the parent csh file, you can grok those filenames, read into them, and find out what env vars you need to set prior to executing anything. fwiw, I have had to do this in the recent past.
