Using the pure mod_perl approach has always worked for me:
my $ref = $req->header_in("Referer");
IIRC, there was a recommded approach to reading %ENV.. A grep didn't
turn up anything usefull, so far. If this thread is still open, I'll
drop a line :)

Hi, I just noticed something and I don't know if it is normal: Is %ENV
supposed shared between requests???
I was trying to use $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'} in a certain script, and as I
reloaded the script over and over I noticed that it would constantly
be changing when the page was loaded directly (and therefore there
should not have been any HTTP_REFERER at all).
When I investigated this further, I noticed that there were tons of
%ENV values set that had nothing to do with my current request, and I
concluded that %ENV must be shared between all of the requests that
had been executed in the given child.
Is this correct??? Is %ENV really not cleaned on each new request, or
have I got something really wacky going on.
If ENV is not cleared, then this is a problem... How do people get
around this? I know about the Apache API, but I don't see any method
to get, say, the HTTP_REFERER, or other random environment variables
that may be set.
