So this is in the per request stash.. I wonder why your app is  
grabbing PERL_ENV...

Can you grab the app for the phrase PERL_ENV, and show us the top  
level application class, and whichever class contains PERL_ENV?

So these look like at whatever point this is captured, the environment  
is sane - why this isn't being picked up by Catalyst::Engine::CGI  
(which the FastCGI engine subclasses) is a mystery to me, but I  
suspect your app code..

Does it all work if you use the development server? I.e. is it _only_  
FastCGI that's an issue, or generally with anything not mod_perl

This version is almost 4 years old, which is a lifetime! But it's  
probably easier to get you sorted out where you are right now than  
trying to upgrade as well.
