When I type "ps x -u" from the command line, ps gives me:

    ERROR: List of users must follow -p

I think to make x and -u work together you have to supply a username for -u.
I don't exec shell stuff too often, but I think this might work:

#!/usr/bin/perl5

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Current Server Processes:\n\n";
print "   \n\n";
$user = $ENV{'USER'};
print `ps x -u $user`;
