When I try that approach, I still get the 500 errors, but the errors are:

[Fri Apr 27 15:49:16 2007] [error] [client 00.00.00.00 ] Premature end of
script headers: index.pl

There is no indication of what the true problem is, but the curl statement
never seems to attempt any kind of upload to the server.

Both the client side and the server side will be under my control so I don't
think I will need cgiwrap as was also suggested.
