Re: accessing environment variables set by other modules

you might want to take a look at subprocess_env

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestRec.html#C_subprocess_env_

I don't think i've every tried to use %ENV in a Filter, perhaps it's not 
getting populated.  %ENV can be a little strange in mp2, have a look at:

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/troubleshooting/troubleshooting.html#C_Libraries_Don_t_See_C__ENV__Entries_Set_by_Perl_Code

though that would seem to be unrelated to your issue.
