Based on your reply (to an answer that I not saw) it seems like giving 
the web server read access to common.pl solved your problem. Together 
with the fact that the current directory is included in @INC, it 
indicates that you are not running the script under mod_perl.

Guess?? You really, really ought to know! What happens if you add this 
line to the script:

     print "Not mod_perl\n" unless $ENV{MOD_PERL};
