in thread How do I get my webserver to execute Perl CGI scripts?

If you've setup apache to use a cgi-bin (which jbodoni already has explained), you should be able to call the cgi script with <form action="/cgi-bin/name.cgi" method=post>. That is as long as you've created the cgi-bin in your Document Root directory: the default of this is "/var/www/html", with cgi-bin being in "/var/www/cgi-bin". You can find out for sure by looking at httpd.conf.

The fact that you looked at I: for the script makes me wonder if apache is even started/installed, test this by typing http://localhost/ into a browser.
