I just noticed this (somewhat old) post.  I'm still running 0.23.1 on
Gentoo.  I've noticed that after installing mythweb (which installs
mythweb with webapp-config), I needed to fix the ownership and
permissions of mythweb.pl:

chown apache.apache /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb/mythweb.pl
chmod u+x /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb/mythweb.pl
