Maybe You have a private temporary directory (/root/tmp or whatever):
The temporary directory CGI.pm uses is selected as: ( from CGI(3) )
The temporary directory is selected using the following algorithm:
1. if the current user (e.g. "nobody") has a directory named
"tmp" in its home directory, use that (Unix systems only).
2. if the environment variable TMPDIR exists, use the location
indicated.
3. Otherwise try the locations /usr/tmp, /var/tmp, C:\temp,
/tmp, /temp, ::Temporary Items, and \WWW_ROOT.
If You start apache as root and preloads CGI.pm then my experience is that
the apache kids (running as nobody) tries to use /root/tmp if it exists and
(most likely) fail.
Try to rename any private tmp directory and see if that helps.
