Oops!  I just sent a message asking what output ppop -M produces.

True.  And that should be what ppop -M is producing.

Have you considered installing Perl from source into /usr/local and 
seeing if the problem goes away?  Haven't you had other weird problems 
with Perl and PPR?  Was it you who had warnings turning into fatal errors?

By the way, one of my test systems is running RedHat 9 with 
perl-5.8.0-88.  The web interface works fine.
