I've got an application that uses PFProAPI.pm for credit card processing. It has been running successfully for one client, under Apache2/mod_perl2, for about a year and a half. I'm in the process of setting it up for another client. I've got it working correctly under CGI, but whenever I try to process a payment under mod_perl I get the error:

"The certificate chain did not validate, no local certificate found, Cert Path"

I can't figure out what is different in the mod_perl environment. The environment variable PFPRO_CERT_PATH is set in the shell, is also set using SetPerlEnv right after loading mod_perl, and is set again in the application using $ENV{'PFPRO_CERT_PATH'}='/usr/local/certs/'. As far as I can tell, the permissions on the file and directory are set correctly.

Anyhow, I'm about ready to pull my hair out on this one. Any ideas? I just don't see why the application is working correctly from normal CGI but not from mod_perl. I'm using Perl 5.6.2.
