I'm trying to get an html page to run cgi script, using the form "GET" command. When I submit my form entry, I'm then prompted to either open, save or cancel the cgi script. I can run the script independently but not through the html page. Any ideas? Perhaps I have my Apache server set up in correctly. I should also note, I'm using apache 2.2.11 and both files are stored in the same file path (cgi-bin).

Here's the html: 
<html><head><title>Test Form</title></head>
<body>

<form action="10_cgi.cgi" method="GET">
Enter some text here:
<input type="text" name="sample_text" size=30>
<input type="submit">
</form>

</body></html>

Here's the cgi ("10_cgi.cgi"): 
#!/perl/bin/perl -wT

use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);

use strict;

print header;
print start_html( "Get Form" );

#my %form;
#foreach my $p (param()) {
#    $form{$p} = param($p);
#    print "$p = $form{$p}<br>\n";
#}

print end_html;
