Do as you would with any other program: Debug.

The RaQs ofcourse do fork()s (otherwise you wouldn't really be running
any programs). 

Isolate the part of the perl code, that do not work. As he indicated,
you would probably look for the part, where it forks. Change that part
to give out some meaningful error messages.

At that point you can work you way around the problem. Not earlier.
