You can also use the simpler :

Apache2->httpd_conf("SetEnv foo");

Have you read
<http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/PerlSections.html#C_server_>.
The <Perl> section stuff was re-implemented from scratch between v1 and
v2, so this might be some bug.

Have you tried adding this:

 <Perl>
  print Apache2::PerlSections->dump;
 </Perl>

To the bottom of your httpd.conf, so see what gets dumped ?

Also, it would greatly help if you could post a complete example
httpd.conf (even if simplified) that demonstrates the problem you are
having.
