Thanks Charlie for the pointer. It was a content-type problem. The external app was using text/plain while Apache2 by default requires application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Regards, Saurabh

Search the CGI.pm code for 'POSTDATA'; you'll be able to see the request header checks it does before setting the POSTDATA param.
