Okay, here's my latest test script, verbatim:

	#!perl
	print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
	foreach (keys %ENV) {
	  print "\$ENV\{\'" , $_ , "\'\}: " , $ENV{$_} , "<BR>\n\n";
	  }

And here's the output in a Web browser:

	$ENV{''}: SERVER_SOFTWARE
	$ENV{'GET'}: SERVER_NAME
	$ENV{'Keep-Alive'}: HTTP_PRAGMA
	$ENV{'MACPERL'}: G3:MacPerl:
	$ENV{'acs.bitstream.net'}: SERVER_PORT
	$ENV{'http://www2.bitstream.net/~acs/adam.html'}: HTTP_USER_AGENT
	$ENV{'80'}: SCRIPT_NAME
	$ENV{'iso-8859-1,*,utf-8'}: HTTP_ACCEPT
	$ENV{'MacHTTP/2.0'}: GATEWAY_INTERFACE
	$ENV{'TMPDIR'}: Quadzilla:Temporary Items:
	$ENV{'CGI/1.1'}: SERVER_PROTOCOL
	$ENV{'en'}: HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET
	$ENV{'127.0.0.1'}: REQUEST_METHOD
	$ENV{'Mozilla/4.03 (Macintosh; I; PPC, Nav)'}: HTTP_CONNECTION
	$ENV{'/env.cgi'}: HTTP_REFERER
	$ENV{'no-cache'}: HTTP_HOST
	$ENV{'HTTP/1.0'}: REMOTE_ADDR
	$ENV{'PERL5LIB'}: G3:MacPerl:lib,G3:MacPerl:lib2
	$ENV{'USER'}: Adam

As you can see, MACPERL, PERL5LIB, TMPDIR, and USER are okay.  Everything
else is mixed up.  Asking for the variables by name (e.g. $ENV{'HTTP_HOST'})
doesn't work either.  By the way, this little test script works perfectly on
a UNIX server.

It's "CGI Script", created and modified on Jan. 19, 1997.  I'm pretty sure
this is the one that came with MacPerl 5.1.5r4.  And it worked fine before I
got the G3.
