Correct. The webserver must deliver the complete certificate chain up to (but excluding) the root certificate. Depending on your server, you will also have to be sure to provide the chain in the correct order.

Popular browsers do try to download (or cache) intermediate certs. But from what i remember from the protocol specs, i think that strictly speaking they are not supposed to do that. Pretty sure that the behaviour of Perl and Curl is the correct one.
