38<h3>Summary</h3>
39
40    <p>This module allows for control of internal environment variables that
41    are used by various Apache HTTP Server modules. These variables are also
42    provided to CGI scripts as native system environment variables, and available
43    for use in SSI pages. Environment variables may be passed from the shell
44    which invoked the <code class="program"><a href="/programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> process. Alternatively,
45    environment variables may be set or unset within the configuration process.</p>
