Greets all, I've been trying to knock this one for a while, but no luck yet... Any help you all could give would be totally appreciated!

I am building a perl-based web client that retrieves web pages in the same manner a browser retrieves web pages, but my program is started from the linux command line. The problem is, I also want to display the current values of the HTTP Environment/Session Variables when each page is retrieved and display them with the page (e.g. If the page I am retrieving comes from server 192.241.212.14, I would like to read the SERVER_ADDR Environment variable to see that). I have tried accessing it directly through the %Env hash, as I would if this were a CGI program:
foreach $var (sort(keys(%ENV))) { $val = $ENV{$var}; $val =~ s|\n|\\n|g; $val =~ s|"|\\"|g; print "${var}=\"${val}\"\n";
But instead of HTTP Environment Variables, I get Linux Shell Variables. Any light the divine perlmonks could shed on this issue is, again, received with complete gratitude :) Thanks!
