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