Hellow Monks, I saw some posts similar to my following doubt. But i couldnt figure it out. So kindly help me (am not an expert). I have a front end html (with buttons) and a backend PERL cgi script. The code is correct and tested in another windows system. Now, i placed two files in www folder (under var) in Ubuntu 14.04. But when i clcik the button, instead of runing the cgi, script itself is displayed. Someone kindly help me what changes to be made (in a simple way). I also attach the contens of front end html and backend test.cgi 

Front end.html
<html>
<body>
<h3> <center>TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR FAMILY</center></h3>

<form action="/var/www/test.cgi" method="GET">
<input type="submit" value="ABC">
</form>
</body>
</html>

test.cgi, 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser);
$q=new CGI;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";



@field=$q->param();

$name=$q->param("value");

print<<"OUTPUT";
                        
                <html>
                <head>
                <title>     FAMILY SELECTION    </title>  </head>     
+           
                <body>              
                <img src="/var/www/bb.jpg" size=100">
                <br><br><br><br><br>
                <center><table border=0>
                <tr><td>                        
                </td></tr>
                </table></center>
                </body>
                </html>
