The problem seems to be only when the script is called from apache 
(2.2), so I wonder if that is the problem. When I run it from the shell, 
it behaves as expected. When it is called via CGI, it dies where you 
would expect just a warning.

Is this perhaps a bug in apache2.2, or alternatively just a difference 
in how perl scripts are handled in apache2.2?

The script is just a standard blosxom installation, other than being set 
setuid.
