Well, with the subprocess_env(), I can see the key that I set in my cgi now,
but the value that I set the key to is a Hash reference that I need to use
in my cgi. Unfortunately, all I get now is ENV{'TEST_VAR'} =
HASH(0x860a278), and I can't pull my values out.
Thanks for the help; it looks like we are headed in the right direction.
Now, is there any way to set an ENV key to a hash or hash reference and use
that later on in a cgi program?
Thanks,
Gene

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;
