Uh... Bummer.

I don't think we'll be able to tell you exactly what happened. The apache error indicates that the file was probably already corrupted when you tried to invoke it as a CGI.

Does this look like anything to anybody?

Yes, it looks like you cut and pasted a binary file out of vi or less. Try running file(1) and/or strings(1) on it and you may learn what it is.
