Yep

More perms than needed, but that definitely should work (next version 
won't need bb binary at all).

Sorry, I should have specified the full URL to try as 
http://72.218.x.x/perl/hobbit.cgi?action=execute_push
That should give you some XML.  without that action parameter you will 
indeed get a blank page.

Yep, that's normal for hitting it from your browser.

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.

You may want to make a helloworld.cgi that just has:
print "Hello World!\n";

and see if you can hit http://72.218.x.x/perl/helloworld.cgi and see the 
message in your browser...this will tell us if your mod_perl is 
configured properly.
