Sounds like a lack of entropy, since you aren't typing on the local
keyboard:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/troubleshooting/troubleshooting.html#Server_Hanging_at_the_Startup
In deed the /dev/random device does not generate (enough) bytes, when
the keyboard is not
used. ("cat /dev/random" stops after a few bytes, when not typing
something on the keyboard)
As suggested in the troubleshooting (which i didn't read..) it works
with the alternative /dev/urandom
device.
Thanks!
