how to modify apache environment variables?

How do I modify environment variables in the apache environment? Do I modify httpd.conf?

I have apache 1.3.29.0.2-5 on Linux, and my problem is that my perl cgi script can't find their libraries when invoked thru apache, whereas the libraries are found when the script executed from a local shell (I installed

http://WWW::mechanize,

and need to modify PERL5LIB to find it).

First question.. Where did you install

http://WWW::Mechanize?

Second question..
Are you using windows.

I mentioned that apache is running on Linux (Debian Knoppix 3.4 specifically)

http://WWW::Mechanize

is installed under my home directory, and perl scripts can find it when PERL5LIB is modified as follows:

export PERL5LIB=/home/knoppix/perl/lib/perl/5.8.4:/home/knoppix/perl/share/perl/5.8.4

Sorry about that.. Was reading this post with my Sidekick (very small screen) and thought you didn't specify an OS.

Anyways, add this to your httpd.conf

If you are using DSO

LoadModule env_module /path/to/apache/mod_env.so
SetEnv PERL5LIB /path/to/perl/lib

If you are using Static

SetEnv PERL5LIB /path/to/perl/lib
