Permissions and/or environment. In most cases, apache's $HOME is /tmp/.
Possibly creating /tmp/.Inline as apache writable would do. (Or, not
writable, but preseeded with built code.)

You can also tell inline to use a directory. If this already has built
code, it doesn't need to be writable.
The most secure thing in cgi usage would probably be installing the
inlined code in your @INC. Read the bit about 'VERSION => ...' in the
Inline.pod docs for how to make it not attempt to rebuild.

Hmm, taint mode checks usage of environment variables, right? You're
probably looking at File::Temp, but check the source + perlsec and see
what you find. Of course, may not be an issue if you do the
installed-code usage as mentioned above.
