If you have checked your logs and are not getting an error, perhaps you need to unbuffer your output. Add $|++; to the top of the code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use CGI; 
use strict;
use HTML::Entities;
$|++;

For more information, see Suffering from Buffering.

Also, try running the from the command line to see what the output is. Frankly, I didn't look at the code too closely. I just saw data being dumped to the screen that wasn't encoded and responded to that. Good luck!
