HTML::Embperl::handler retrives it via ScanEnvironment and passes it as
cookie_name parameter to the Execute function. Execute calls SetupConfData,
which creates a C structures which holds all configuration data for that
request, including the cookie_name.
I guess your problem is more a mod_perl problem. Sometimes, I never have
really found out when, mod_perl does set environment variables correct. That
occurs (not always!) if you have for example one var in your main
configuration outside of any container and another var inside a container
(Location/Directory etc.). In this case sometimes, inside the container,
only the var which is set inside the container is visible, but not the one
which is set outside e.g.
PerlSetVar EMBPERL_COOKIE_NAME foo
<Location /bar>
PerlSetVar EMBPERL_OPTIONS 1
</Location>
In this example, somtimes EMBPERL_COOKIE_NAME will not be set inside the
location /bar, also it should. Putting the PerlSetVar EMBPERL_COOKIE_NAME
also inside the Location is the only "solution" I currently know
