Hi monks!

I'm needing to use the Printer module on a linux web server. If I try to print from a script run from the command line it works like a charm. However, if I try that same code (actually the same file, not just a copied portion of the script somewhere else), 

my $prn= new Printer('linux' => 'lp');
$prn->print($text);

I get the following error: 
Internal exception error - Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running with -T s
+witch

I'm not a linux expert. I only know enough to be dangerous. I've tracked it down to failing at the following line: 
open PRINTER, $pr_cmd
         or Carp::croak
         "Can't open printer connection to $self->{'printer'}{$OSNAME}
+: $!";

in the print sub inside Printer::Unix. Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

Yes, I need to be using a specific printer from the server, not the locally installed printers on the workstation.
