I believe you've missed the Content-Type header. Not the HTTP-Equiv one, but the real header one, which is required by most CGI-powered Web servers by default.
Try to put this at the top of the script.
echo -e "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"
And try to get more information if you post again. The part of the Apache error log maybe which describes the error rather than the generic "Internal Server Error" message. And you're sure your Web server really is taught to interpret shell scripts as CGI scripts properly?

curlopt_post
CURLOPT_POST(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_POST(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_POST - request a HTTP POST
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_POST, long post);
DESCRIPTION
A parameter set to 1 tells libcurl to do a regular HTTP post. This will also make the library use a "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-
urlencoded" header. (This is by far the most commonly used POST method).
Use one of CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS(3) or CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS(3) options to specify what data to post and CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE(3) or CUR-
LOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE(3) to set the data size.
Optionally, you can provide data to POST using the CURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3) and CURLOPT_READDATA(3) options but then you must make sure to
not set CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS(3) to anything but NULL. When providing data with a callback, you must transmit it using chunked transfer-encod-
ing or you must set the size of the data with the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE(3) or CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE(3) options. To enable chunked
encoding, you simply pass in the appropriate Transfer-Encoding header, see the post-callback.c example.
You can override the default POST Content-Type: header by setting your own with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3).
Using POST with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header. You can disable this header with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3) as
usual.
If you use POST to a HTTP 1.1 server, you can send data without knowing the size before starting the POST if you use chunked encoding. You
enable this by adding a header like "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3). With HTTP 1.0 or without chunked transfer, you
must specify the size in the request.
When setting CURLOPT_POST(3) to 1, it will automatically set CURLOPT_NOBODY(3) to 0.
If you issue a POST request and then want to make a HEAD or GET using the same re-used handle, you must explicitly set the new request type
using CURLOPT_NOBODY(3) or CURLOPT_HTTPGET(3) or similar.
