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?

Matthew
