Are you sure that’s what you need? You can pass $https with
fastcgi_param or access it with perl’s variable method:
$r->variable(‘https’) and set $ENV{…} accordingly.

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#variables

fastcgi_param HTTPS $https if_not_empty; # for NGINX >= 1.1.11

For NGINX < 1.1.11:

map $scheme $https_on {
    default  '';
    https    on;
}

fastcgi_param HTTPS $https_on;
