Global Environment Variables

I

Where can I put environment variables that need to be used by all users?

I have a couple of servers that monitor other servers. On the private network I don't install CA certificates for the https and the newer perl LWP libs do certificate checking. It is not practical to add a line at the top of the hundreds of scripts that make up SDKs, so I need a way to store this in the environment for all users. I've tried lots of files in /etc etc, but when I log in, it does not show. The only thing that works that I've seen is to put it in the users .cshrc file. I'm kind of hoping there is something I can use for a global environment settings like Windows has or a login script where I can set it for all users.

Code: 
PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME	0

Thanks!
 
Well, the easiest way that I figured is to set it in /etc/login.conf
Add your stuff to setenv field, and just rebuild db:
[CMD=]cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf[/CMD]
