Try fiddling with $r->subprocess_env; I've had good results that way. e.g.:
$r->subprocess_env('TEST_VAR', 1);
I haven't tried using %ENV, but I was under the impression it was
tied to the same internal Apache::Table object as
$r->subprocess_env, which means that setting $ENV{'TEST_VAR'}
should work as well.
Make sure you are setting this in the parent request, if you are
in a subrequest:
$r = ($r->is_main) ? $r : $r->main;
