in reply to Perl CGI

It isn't a perl problem, Apache is configured not to allow post to that url. Off the top of my head I'm going to guess you have a .htaccess file protecting your website so nobody can see it while you are developing it. And in that .htaccess file you probably have a <Limit GET> directive, which restricts who can GET urls, and since you don't have POST listed in there, nobody is allowed to post.

We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!

    From what I gathered, "LIMIT GET" only reduces your options for "GET"... it does not forbid you to use any other method. For example: 
    <Limit GET>
    deny from all
</Limit>

    will forbid anybody GET access to that directory; however, it says nothing about HEAD, POST, or whatever...
