You're right that SetEnv is used to set an environment variable. 
However, it's Apache (or, specifically, the i5/OS version of Apache) 
that sets the library list.

You do not have to code anything relating to this in your CGI program, 
it's done for you by the HTTP server.

Actually, in Shane's example, he used /cgi-test/ewo*, the * is a 
wildcard, so any program name in /cgi-test that starts with "ewo" would 
get the library list.

But, yes, it's done for you automatically...
