Im sorry for starting a big problem with the cgi thing :)
So it wasnt me being thick after all?
I thought maybe you had to create the cgi.pm yourself by using the makefile.pl.

Anyway, I've decided to just use a CGI.pm that arturo advised. (tan-ku)
Seems to be working ok now.
Why do things have to be so complex?, to be honest I don't like using the CGI.pm as I like making code myself and planning where it goes, how i get it etc. Im one of these people who likes to know i did it all, typed every character of it.
Its as though the CGI.pm interupts the way i should think. (even though im sure it does everything perfectly well). I know I'll never use the HTML part of it either. Mind you, the things I'm creating arent massive as Im a learner. Im sure its more useful for programmers designing MASSIVE systems... saves typing as much. (or maybe its just for lazy people.. or even people who don't know html).

Im talking arse aren't I?,
I'll stop now :))
