Hi Bart,

 I went ahead and setup Apache2/Perl 5.8 on my system. BTW Apache2 has
 nothing to do with the problem, it all seems to be due to perl 5.8's
 stricter syntax checking.

 There were several syntax errors that I guess 5.6 didn't pick up on in
 the Browse.pm, Config.pm and in Shell.pm (I think the fix I made to 
 Shell.pm was the culprit). 

 In Shell.pm the system_timeout's default value was being set to a
 string '' instead of a numeric value, so this seems to have the
 side effect of hanging the cgi until apache gives up. Also, it
 seems at one spot in the code, assignment of system_timeout is
 incorrect, so this value wasn't even being set (which makes the
 default of '' much more of a problem). 

 I set the default to 300, in the code, because this is the default in
 the config file, so I figured that's the safest bet.

 Everything should work now in the trunk, and there should be
 less perl warnings in your apache error logs now :)
 
 If you can verify this I will then merge it into the branch for 1.0 
 release. 

- Nick
