[ale] setting an env variable that apache will see when calling a cgi script

[lists at serioustechnology.com (Geoffrey)]

I'm trying to figure out how to set an env. variable that will be 
available to a perl cgi script.  I've tried putting it in the 
/etc/sysconfig/httpd file as well as in the /etc/init.d/httpd script, 
but it does not find it's way to the process that executes the cgi.

Anyone know how to do this?  For example:

print $ENV{'FOO'};
