Yes.
well, not exactly. PerlSetEnv sets the subprocess_env table.
as a side effect of that, you get PerlSetEnv values in %ENV
if you have PerlSetupEnv On. The other way to look at it
I have a modperl site that accesses a number of modules.
In my startup.pl I have:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use lib('/path/to/my/installation'); # 'site' directory is here
use Apache::DBI;
use Apache::StatINC;
use site::customers;
use site::orders;
use site::products;
use site::base;
1;

If site::products calls functions from site::customers, do I need

done a 'use' in my startup.pl?
No, but I always do. It's good documentation, to remind you that if you
ever ran this code outside of mod_perl
