CGI Error

Nagios 2.0 runs fine on my RedHat 9 box running Apache
1.29. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest
that there is potentially a bug with Nagios (either
version) running on RedHat Enterprise Linux. It could
possibly be Perl and/or Perl's libraries on the this
release of RedHat?
Is anyone running Nagios successfully on RedHat
Enterprise Linux?
