This is really a UNIX question, but didnt know where else to post it...

I have a hosting service that gives me access to the shell of UNIx, and I can do whatever I want...

I have a perl on Linux but I dont know how to do this:

  • I want to setup the ENV_VARIABLEs because I dont have all of them. Im particulary(spelling?) interested in been able to see the "REMOTE_USER". I read somewhere that when you have access to the shell you are able to do this.

    It would be great if someone can help me out. Just in case im in bash.

    THANKS
