I've used IO::Scalar in cgi scripts on apache before, and your code looked pretty similar to mine, so I thought I'd see what was different. In my code I never did anything with the return value from tie, and I think that's what's breaking for you. It's the "close $SH" line that's the problem. I tried the following script on my apache, and did not see any output:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
use IO::Scalar;
my $output;
my $SH = tie *STDOUT,'IO::Scalar', \$output;
print "hey\n";
$result = "output: $output";
close $SH;
untie *STDOUT;
print $result;
Then I commented out the "close" line, and it worked! I'm not sure why -- I would have expected to at least see "output:" no matter what.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
