Hello to all Mongoose developers, testers, users and fans!

Is 'cgi_environment' option deprecated in recent versions?

I'm using Mongoose 5.1 and when trying to set this option from 
configuration file, I receive:
'Failed to set option [cgi_environment]: No such option'
I found that in version 3.2 (
https://code.google.com/p/mongoose/source/browse/mongoose.1) this option 
was still available.
I also found the following entry in the old Mongoose manual on googlecode:
' -cgi_env list

             Pass environment variables to the CGI script in addition to stan-
             dard ones.  The list must be comma-separated list of X=Y pairs,
             like this: "VARIABLE1=VALUE1,VARIABLE2=VALUE2".  Default: not 

set.'
(http://mongoose.googlecode.com/svn/wiki/MongooseManual.wiki)
When I tried to set 'cgi_env', again from configuration file, I get the 
same error:
'Failed to set option [cgi_env]: No such option'

My other questions are:
1. What are the reasons for disabling this option?
(implementation problems, security issues, lack of interest among users?)
2. How to reeanble this option? Can I and should I use parts of the old 
code (from versions using this option)?

I need this option to pass PERL5LIB environment variable for Perl scripts 
and be able to load Perl modules without system-wide installation or any 
modifications in the scripts.

Thanks in advance for any usefull info!
