Jacqui, Thanks for your input. Per your suggestion, I upgraded CGI.pm. It, unfortunately didn't have any effect. My script (see below) functions as expected from the command line. It also works in Apache if I set the MaxRequestsPerChild to 1 (I know this is not a good setting, I was just trying anything I though could affect it.) With MaxRequestsPerChild set to any other number, the script times out. The script functions as expected when $site = any url not hosted on the same machine. Any help would be appreciated.
