More perms than needed, but that definitely should work (next version
won't need bb binary at all).<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

Sorry, I should have specified the full URL to try as

That should give you some XML. without that action parameter you will
indeed get a blank page.<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

</blockquote></div>
Right, so there is either something in the script breaking, a CGI
issue, or possibly you can connect to IPPhone, but some network acl
prevents the IPPhone from connecting to your cgi host. Once you do the
test above and get XML back or not, that will tell us where to look
next.<br>
<br>
You may want to make a helloworld.cgi that just has:<br>
print "Hello World!\n";<br>
<br>
and see if you can hit <a href="http://72.218.x.x/perl/helloworld.cgi" target="_blank">http://72.218.x.x/perl/helloworld.cgi</a> and see
the message in your browser...this will tell us if your mod_perl is
configured properly.<br>
