I'm suspecting that there is a misunderstanding about what you think
webmux.pl is used for.  This file is used by Apache to run the RT web
interface, and under normal circumstances, executing webmux.pl outside
Apache doesn't 'do' anything (unless there is an error in that file).
Putting the '#!/path/to/perl' magic at the top merely makes making this
check slightly easier.

In your original message, you quoted an Apache error message that referred
you to the Apache error log.  As such, is there anything useful in that
log?  Quite possibly, you have a permissions problem (in that the user
running Apache cannot read the RT configuration file/libraries ).
