Re: PerlSetEnv vars not available in PerlRequire script

This works in the handler function. There, I discovered, the ENV var is
correctly set too!. Outside this function it is not.

I try to rebuild the following handler-script.

package Foo::Bar;
use all:kinds:of:libs

my %sites = (
    site1 => {
       path = $ENV{PATH} # <-- USE OF ENV VAR HERE
    },
    siteN => {
    }
);

my %ah;

foreach my $site ($keys %sites) {
    $ah{$site} = HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler->new(
        do things with above paths...
    );
}

sub handler {
  my $r = shift;
  ...
  my $site = $r->dir_config('mason_site') || '';
  $ah{$site}->prepare_request($r$);
  ...
}

As you can see I want to use the ENV vars in the global scope. Is this
possible?
