Try just putting [env] on the page and see what else is available.
Interchange relies upon $CGI::secure in various places, so this
will need to be fixed.

It would be interesting to see what environment variables you do get
from [env] and which of the above packages causes the HTTPS variable
to not get set in the environment for secure pages.  A package and
version comparison with others who have the same problem will help
here.

I don't use any of the above versions, by the way.

I don't know, but I doubt it.
