Check list:
1 - Is your shebang correct?
#!/usr/bin/perl <- machine specific
2 - Are your file permissions correct?
chmod 755 <filename>
3 - Are you outputting the content type first?
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
4 - Note the "2" returns. This is required.
5 - Does the program run from a command line?
6 - Did you upload the file as ASCII versus Binary?
