I grabbed an old applet that I wrote years ago and wrote a simple CGI script that prints out an applet HTML tag. The applet loaded just fine:

use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);

print header, start_html;
print qq|<APPLET code = "clippedHouse.class"
                 width = "250" height = "250">
        </APPLET>|;
[download]

The script was in the same directory as the Java applet. Where are your files located? I'd bet a dollar that's where the problem is - does the applet reference other class files, by any chance?
