It's an MPE feature, not an Apache/iX feature.  :-)

MPE 5.0 does not support scripts with the exec() POSIX functions that Apache
is using to invoke CGIs.  But 5.5 does (see the 5.5 Communicator).

Under 5.0 you can only exec() compiled programs.

At the bottom of my Apache/iX to-do list is a workaround to allow it to run
CGI scripts under 5.0.
