My 2�:

If you have configuration access to your box, you might try changing
your crypt_key permissions to 640 and then placing crypt_key in the
same group as apache is run.  That would allow it to read the file.

You will have to set ALLOW_MODE_640 as well.

Apache can also be configured to run CGI as the script's owner
instead of apache/nobody/etc.  I've heard from several sources that
this is a good mod to make as it better protects your system from
abuse.  It also makes it easier to figure out whose script has run
awry.
