The only thing that comes to my mind, is that there is a permission problem.
Everythingelse should be quite the same as offline.
When you run your Embperl page offline, does it work then ?
The other thing that is different when running under Apache is, that you
don't have a stdin. Some programms fail if stdin is /dev/null
