Usually this means there is an issue with environment, user permissions,
or different versions of libraries or Perl executables.

Those are all good ideas.  I would also suggest verifying that the perl
binary is the same from command-line as it is from mod_perl.  You could
try becoming the user who you run mod_perl as (typically "nobody") and
running the command-line version to see if it breaks from permissions.
