I'm afraid you may have caugt a slight case of not-reading-the-documentation-carefully-enough-itis. Unfortunately, when dealing with mod_rewrite, this affliction can be deadly. If you look carefully at the example map program here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap even without perl skills, you should be able to get the key point: the script needs to loop on standard input. It is not started fresh for each request. It is started only once and each request gives it a new line of standard input. So your script must loop on standard input, processing stdin one line at a time and writing its results to standard output.
