OK. The way to troubleshoot CGI problems is to run the tools the
same way as the web server does.

If you fire up your browser and try to use the bb-findhost CGI, you'll
see the URL being something like this:

http://www.hswn.dk/bb-cgi/bb-findhost.sh?host=voodoo&case_sensitive=on&SUB=Search

What happens is that the webserver defines a QUERY_STRING environment 
variable with the part of the URL following the '?'. So to mimic the
webserver behaviour, do

QUERY_STRING="host=voodoo&case_sensitive=on&SUB=Search"
export QUERY_STRING

You need the quotes because there are '&' signs in the string.

Then run /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/bb-findhost.sh and see what is
says.
