It works perfectly from the command line, but Does it work perfectly from the command line if you su to "nobody" (or whomever PHP runs as) before you execute it? Is it world executable? Does it access resources such as PGP key-rings that "nobody" can/cannot access? Are you sure you have the path correct? Do both Perl scripts have exactly the same #! at the beginning? Or is one relying on the .pl ending to be executed properly? (If that's even possible in Un*x.) > lines of output. Why would this be any different for php?
