If you want to set them via the %ENV hash, you must place them at the top of
embpcgi.pl.
But SetEnv with Apache works! "make test" uses just that to make the CGI
tests and I always tests Embperl on many different Apache version before I
release a new version, so I am sure SetEnv & CGI & Apache 1.2.6 works
together!
There must be another problem, why SetEnv doesn't work for you.
Note: SetEnv can only occur in server or virtual server context, not in
.htaccess or directory blocks like PerlSetEnv.

CGI is much slower then mod_perl, because under mod_perl the Perl code (of
Embperl itself and of every Embperl page) is compiled only within the first
request. So starting with the second request Embperl will serve pages _much_
faster.

Sessions works exactly the same way under CGI, then under mod_perl. The main
difference between CGI and mod_perl environement, beside speed, is that you
can't use the Apache API under CGI.
