Are you trying to run this under cygwin? If so, there's a very recent
thread on the cygwin mailing list about this. Apache clears the
environment before launching a CGI script, but the winsock API requires
the SYSTEMROOT environment variable to be set. You can configure apache
*not* to remove that variable from the environment.
