We have a similar environment, except for using IIS instead of Apache.
The trick that did it for me was to switch to unbuffered output early
in the script, and to set the content type, like

#!perl -w
use RRDs;
$| = 1; print "Content-type:image/png\n\n";

RRDs::graph  [...]


This works for .pl-scripts, I did not find out yet how to make it work
out of .asp/perlscript - which would be a great plus, since invoking
perl
via .pl-cgi runs impressingly slow.
