The problem is that mod_perl handles %ENV at request time, and it's not normally
avaliable
during startup. So you should make use of the
PerlPassEnv SIDE_USER
PerlPassEnv SITE_USER_PORT
Wich will make sure they are always set for you. This exists mostly for performances
reason,
as setting up the 'magic' %ENV is quite expensive.
Hope this helps
