Sure, nothing's intrinsically tied to Perl at all. Look at
http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/overview.html for the CGI
specification, including a listing of the environment variables that
could be set.

Well, sure, where do you expect name and value to actually be defined?
(I don't think 'extern' is allowed to modify local variables in any
case.) You also might look for C CGI libraries if this would make you
happy; there seems to be a libcgicg1-dev package in unstable, which
appears to provide the right functionality.
