Thanks for the reply, just getting back from a short vacation...

My test programs:

first.pl
---
#!/export/home/eoliphan/gnu/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $key;
open(LOG,"> /tmp/firstdebug.log");
foreach $key (keys %ENV)
{
    print LOG "$key = $ENV{$key} \n";
}

`/export/home/eoliphan/gnu/cgi-bin/dump_vars.pl`;
close (LOG);
---

dump_vars.pl has the same foreach loop and dumps to a different log file.
The 'firstdebug.log' has the required CGI vars.  The log generated by
dump_vars.pl has what appears to be the enviroment of the httpd executable
and no CGI vars.

It works for me with mod_perl 1.0 and doesn't with 2.0. Which one do you have the trouble with?

if with 1.0, check:

Or may be you are using PerlSetEnv Off?
