After some research this problem proved to be caused by the fact that
James's new server does not like the -T switch on the shebang line, i.e.
it generates a fatal error if you try to run a CGI script in "taint mode".

The 'solution' was simply to remove the -T switch. It should be noted
that it's not a good solution, since "taint mode" is a security measure.
It's kind of weird that a web server does not 'like' it, since running
CGI scripts in "taint mode" to a large extent serves the purpose of
protecting *the server*.


Dear Gunnar and James,
    Yahoo! has the same problem. They don't allow the taint mode either.

Sincerely,
Tzabaoth
