Hi all,
Turn sout the problem really was that the Apache user didn't have
permission to write the PID file into /var/run/ so it couldn't start the
fcgi process. That's solved now.

Write a small cgi script that dumps the environment and take a look.
You might be surprised
I'll second that. There is a really good chance that Apache is not
giving your script the same environment as the shell. And that is why
can't find Perl.
Here's a snippet about environment variables from the Apache
documentation on CGI:
Path information and environment
When you run a program from your command line, you have certain
information that is passed to the shell without you thinking about it.
For example, you have a |PATH|, which tells the shell where it can look
for files that you reference.
When a program runs through the web server as a CGI program, it may not
have the same |PATH|. Any programs that you invoke in your CGI program
(like |sendmail|, for example) will need to be specified by a full path,
so that the shell can find them when it attempts to execute your CGI
program.
A common manifestation of this is the path to the script interpreter
(often |perl|) indicated in the first line of your CGI program, which
will look something like:
|#!/usr/bin/perl|
Make sure that this is in fact the path to the interpreter.
In addition, if your CGI program depends on other environment variables
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/cgi.html#env>, you will need to
assure that those variables are passed by Apache.
