For some reason, if I run this CGI script in the command line, it executes correctly (I get a list of keys in the shell).
But when i try to run this script in a browser, nothing is printed in the borwser.
The web server is not running as you; it typically runs as "nobody". On OS X, it runs as the user "www". In either case, if that user doesn't have a keychain, GPG won't have any keys to list.
The solution to this is to give the web server user a keychain. "Service" users such as "nobody", "www", "mysql" and others often don't have a home directory. You'll either have to create one, or if there's a command-line switch to tell GPG where to find its keychain, use that.

If you listen to a UNIX shell, can you hear the C?
