Problems embedding Perl

Ok. I'm stumped. I'm trying host (aka embed) a Perl interpreter in an Apache (1.3.3) module I'm writing. The server is written in C++ and compiled under Tiger using gcc4. It works just peachy. Follows the examples given at http://perldoc.perl.org I've recently added code to host a Perl interpreter. While I have no problem making this work in a stand-alone C file, making it work from my server code is proving a challenge. I can successfully load the interpreter, including feeding it a script at start-up (via perl_parse). However, if I try to invoke a script through one of the call_xxxx routines, it always faults. For example, when I invoke call_argv, it faults with the following:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at address: 0x00000040
0x97054948 in Perl_call_argv ()

The same exact code runs fine from my test C file. So, I'm willing to believe it has something to do with compiler/linker options, but I'm not clear on what ones. I added to my server build the same switches I used when building my C test version. I further separated out into a separate C file the code that invokes Perl (Tiger, sadly, includes Perl 5.8.6 compiled with gcc3.3!).

I will, obviously, take any suggestions folks may have to offer.

Thank you,
Brendan Dixon
