Of course. In which case you need to check 'apache' instead of 'nobody'.

No worries.

su - apache

is it possible that this path it not readable by user 'apache'? I doubt 
so, since all other tests run just fine.

what if you change one of these scripts (.e.g. t/htdocs/argv.pl) to be:

#!/bin/sh

printenv > /tmp/dump
ldd /opt/perl/bin/perl >> /tmp/dump

and run the subprocess test? This will show what the environment this 
subprocess script is running under.
