Erm, yes, you need CGI enabled for the cgi-bin directory. Your sysadmin needs to do this, or you might be able to use a global (server-wide) cgi-bin directory.

Otherwise, we need more information before we can answer your question with any degree of accuracy. See if you can fill in the blanks:

• what lib is your CGI script using? cgi-lib or CGI.pm? are you using any other libs?
  • have you recently updated these libs from CPAN?
• what webserver are you using?
  • if apache, is mod_perl installed?
  • if apache, is the cgi handler enabled for .cgi?
  • if apache, is ExecCGI turned on for the cgi-bin directory?
• what versions of software are you using? eg, perl 5.005 or 5.6? apache 1.3.12?
• is the CGI script owned by 'nobody' (or the username your webserver runs as) and set executable?

Answer these and maybe we can help. This is the way of the Perl brethren.
