	I believe (w/o knowing anything about Ingres) that you are 
	suffering from environmental differences. When you run the
	perl script from a shell the userid is you and the enviroment
	is, say, from your .login + .cshrc. 

	Consider when the HTTPD forks and exec's Perl to run the
	script. Firstly the userid may be different - but also the
	environment is likely widely different.

	Go looking for neccessary environment variables ...
