have you checked your web server's configuration? if you're the sysadmin, be certain that you've properly set ExecCGI (or set PerlHandler in case of mod_perl). If you're not the admin, but still have access to the config files, peek in there and be certain .cgi is allowed as an extention, as well as ExecCGI etc.

and if neither of these cases are true, bug your local sysadmin for some helpful support. (:
