SOLVED: How to access base environment from Perl sections
Perhaps it's obvious but after years of mod_perl, I was blocked,
probably because using this basic Perl ability is frowned upon in
mod_perl due to performance issues. Of course, during startup,
performance isn't an issue. :-)
In my case, I wanted to PerlPassEnv all environment variables that began
with EWINGZ_
Perl
for ( grep { /^EWINGZ_/ } `env` ) {
my ($key) = /^([^=]+)/;
push PerlPassEnv,$key;
}
/Perl
Stas: I asked this question almost exactly a year ago and nobody
answered it. I asked it yesterday, and again nobody answered it. Perhaps
this should be the Perl Sections section of the guide? After all, the
guide already mentions something very similar to this.

Funny, but there are too many things in the guide to remember. The new
search feature exposes them all, just remember to use it.
I was just about to add your tip, when I've found it
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#Passing_ENV_variables_to_CGI
which was added about 3 years ago:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/Changes.html#05_17_1999_ver_1_11
may be we need to add a xref from the Perl sections section?

Yes, that makes sense.
I would NEVER have looked there, as:
1) It wasn't in the Perl or Configuration section
2) I wasn't trying to pass environment variables to CGI scripts. :-)
I'll have to learn to use the search functionality!
I'm not sure if I've said it before, but thanks for doing all that you
do for the mod_perl community. I appreciate it.
