I found the solution, it is OpenBSD specific and I thought I would post it
here for posterity. The OpenBSD install (wisely) chroot(8) jails the Apache
webserver. So in /var/www (the ServerRoot, i.e. the jail) I had to create
a usr directory and copy all the files found by ldd `which perl`. I got
the basic script to run in the way.
