Two things:

Are you sure the webserver is running as nobody?

Does PlayPod.pl know how to start the music and give control back to the initiating terminal (in this case the web-server via fork) ?

    Figured it out. I needed to restart the web server(rebooted actually) before it recognized the new group assignments.

    I am expecting use of "system" should allow control to be retained by the web server. It does play the sound file to completion, or if I hit the back button, the file is interrupted.

    I think the web server actually runs as "apache", but I think it may run cgi as "nobody".
