Define "crashes"...

Does it literally crash the PHP/Apache process, or does it just print
out "Not loaded"?

Either way, crank up your error settings to E_ALL and check your
Apache error log to find out *WHY* it's not getting loaded.

Could you live with:
<?php
exec("/usr/local/bin/perl script.pl", $output, $error);
$output = implode("<br />\n", $output);
if ($error) die("OS Error: $error<br />\n$output");
echo $output; //probably do something more interesting here
?>
