By "worked for me from the command line" do mean:

1) Set the environment variable within the script as in the example I
   gave and invoked the script from the command line, or

2) set the environment variable in the shell and then invoke the script?

These are completely different.

This talks about the second case. Yes, that's entirely possible (doesn't
seem to be the case on linux, though), but it doesn't have anything to
do with CGI scripts.

I don't believe that that the first case is possible on any unixoid OS.
