Euphoria CGI

I am diving into the world of Euphoria CGI on RedHat 7.0/Apache 1.3.14.  
I have a small program that I need to have run the "system_exec" 
function, as I need it to execute an external program then continue, 
based on the resulting exit code, eg:
   exit_code=system_exec("ls -l",2)

Yes, I've actually dumbed it down this much, just trying to run the 
little ol' ls command.  I can't get it to run as a CGI script!  If I run 
it manually, it runs fine.  So I figure it has something to do with the 
permissions on the file--as in, the user ('nobody') that Apache runs as 
can't run the program.  I've checked the permissions.  'nobody' owns the 
Euphoria script and the external program to be run, and has rwx 
permissions.

So what could the problem be?  I'm new to CGI programming on Apache, so 
any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm stuck!

Thanks.
