An excellent find, Tim. Funny but this exact problem is now discussed on p5p:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/perl/porters/187753
So your timing can't be any better.

so at the moment the solution is to recompile perl with 
-DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV

not sure about:

   * Replace all PHP calls to putenv() with apache_setenv().

suggested in the URL:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/lists/php-install/2003092/0018.php

Later on we should change mod_perl to support that new feature
when compiled with the recent perl (5.8.7?).
