Bash would probably be my last choice of language to write an AGI with.

Personally, I use C because it is my sharpest tool and because you can 
execute hundreds of AGIs written in C in the time it takes to load the 
Perl or PHP interpreter and parse your script.

I suspect that the problems you are experiencing with Perl may have 
something to do with flushing STDOUT or reading the complete response from 
STDIN.

I strongly suggest using an existing library for the language of your 
choice.
