# Apache module mod_env

This module provides for passing environment variables to CGI/SSI scripts.

Status: Base
Source File: mod_env.c
Module Identifier: env_module
Compatibility: Available in Apache 1.1 and later.

## Summary

This module allows Apache's CGI and SSI environment to inherit environment variables from the shell which invoked the httpd process. CERN web-servers are able to do this, so this module is especially useful to web-admins who wish to migrate from CERN to Apache without rewriting all their scripts
