Why does it "keep running"? Sounds like a glitch in the script.
The messages about unitialized value can be suppressed with
no warnings 'uninitialized';

A simple way is to check for $ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE}. If it's defined,
you're most likely running under the web server. You could also check
whether STDIN is a socket. Neither of those are foolproof.
