So I'm using CentOS 6.7 and trying to set up a form. I can access the html using my browser, but once I input the information, the output gives me the internal server error. I've been looking for hours and can't find it. The only thing my error log says is this: 

 
[Fri Oct 16 18:31:35 2015] [error] [client ::1] File does not exist: /

My code for the html is as follows: 
<html>
<head>
<title> Form Page Example </title>
</head>
<body background="light_blue_wallpaper.jpg">
<h1> Welcome! </h1>

<form action=cgi-bin/form.pl method="get">

Name: <input type="text" name="user" size=40><p>
Age: <input type="text" name="age" size=2 maxlength=3><p>
Favorite Scripting Language: <br>
<input type="radio" name="language" value="Bash">Bash<br>
<input type="radio" name="language" value="Perl">Perl<br>
<input type="radio" name="language" value="PHP">PHP<br>
<input type="radio" name="language" value="Python">Python<br>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit form">
<input type="reset" value="Clear all fields">
</form>

All information submitted is confidental!
</body>
</html>

And my cgi script is as follows:

#!/user/bin/perl
require("cgi-lib.pl");

&ReadParse(*input);

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html>
<body background=/var/www/html/light_blue_wallpaper.jpg>
Hello <b>$input{user}</b><br>
Your age: <b>$input{age}</b><br>
Your favorite scripting language: <b>$input{language}</b><br>
</html>
</body>";

Anybody have any ideas? I'm stumped on this and getting frustrated because I feel like it's probably a stupid mistake that i can't catch.
