Huh? No, no, no... They mean if you wanted to *SET* an environment
variable (i.e. manipulate) in the shell, you'd need to use system().
You're not trying to reset a shell environment variable, just read it.
Think of it in terms of variable scope: a shell envronment variable
(PATH, EUDIR) is globally available at the top-level, but a variable
set with SetEnv is local only to that CGI script. Get it?
