but things are not working is not an error description.
If you want that script to print out HTML, you have to actually do it. HTML starts with
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Your Title here</title> </head> <body>
So printing something like this might be a good start. As a CGI script you also have to print HTTP headers before any HTML.
Things like open can go wrong, so you should catch errors like this:
open(...) or die "Can't open stuff: $!";
