You need to add the shebang line to your checklist. Apache (for one) will refuse to run a script without a valid shebang line. It probably belongs next to "What are the scripts permissions?".
On the subject of shebang lines, Devel::ptkdb is worth a mention for debugging. You can get this invoked directly from the shebang line On a windows box, a ptkdb window will pop up when you access the url.
