in thread Geo::Coder::Google running as cgi

thats what I thought initially, but being that it runs fine from the command line, wouldn't that indicate that it can be resolved. The only thing I can think of is some sort of apache.conf issue

    The webserver (apache/httpd) runs as some user (ex apache) which is not the same user (you) in the shell, so permissions can be different, %ENV ....

      That makes sense... but what is the differences? The paths?

      CGI
      PATH = /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin

      shell
      PATH = /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
      I assume it can read the perl modules ok, but it can't either resolve the DNS (where is that done??), or access out is blocked for the apache user (how do I check that?).
      Thanks in advance.

        Another thing to test is whether there are some perl modules in /usr/local/lib/perl5 (even though such a problem should have been reported in the apache log files already, I think)
