If using mod_perl, then inside your IfDefine block, do a 
PerlSetEnv (or maybe a PerlSetVar), eg:

     PerlSetEnv SERVER_MODE "test"

And then just check for key %ENV to see if the -D flag was 
applicable for that request.

The same technique should work with fast_cgi but you'll need to 
use SetEnv rather than PerlSetEnv (unless fast_cgi has 
PerlSetEnv equivalent).
