Unless you have a ScriptAlias for the directory you are trying to load
the cgi
program from you will need to add the following to you httpd.conf

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

Also you may want to try the following script as a test script.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);

my $page = new CGI();
print $page->header;
$page->start_html('Hello World');

print "Hello World!\n";

$page->end_html;


Have Fun.
