In fact, it is not possible at all to override these variables, which is generally a good thing.
That's what I was thinking, but you beat me to the punch with your post. :) The immutability of the CGI env variables is a very important thing, IMO, since there's no way to tell all the Apache modules, which have to assume those values will be there, and will be useful, that you are manually mucking with them upstream...
