Hello, I am using LWP::Simple within a mod_perl context to retrieve content from an external site within a request to our site. I've installed LWP::Simple correctly, however is doesn't work within mod_perl and (I suspect) it doesn't work work within a regular CGI app.
I wrote a simple script and ran it "su - apache -c '/path/to/script'" and it doesn't return any content. It does return content for real user id's though (eg. su - mkennedy ...). So I suspect the apache user cannot use LWP::Simple because LWP::Simple is requiring some rights user apache does not have. I'm not sure where to begin looking to solve this problem... Any ideas?
