To get an idea of the problem, login to your server using ssh, and run the command :-

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

If your server is setup with the defaults, that should be the location of your error log file. Then go to the URL you have problems with, and see what gets printed on the screen. It will usually give you an idea of what the problem is. Depending on how you have cgi setup, you may need to enable mod_perl, but be warned, it is not possible to run mod_perl and mod_php in the same instance of apache. If you need to run both, then the normal practice is to add a line :-

#! /bin/perl

to the start of your script, and to make the file executable by world. This can be done with a :-

chmod 0755 file.cgi

from the ssh prompt, assumiong you are already in the directory containing the file. Having done that, the file should run like any other program on a unix system.
