Under Unix, a CGI script is a plain text file just like any other Perl script.

On the Mac, a MacPerl CGI script is in an entirely different format.

Fortunately, converting between them couldn't be simpler.

1) Open the script in MacPerl.

2) From the File menu, select "Save As..."

3) In the resulting dialog box, there is a popup menu labelled "Type" 
which is set by default to "Plain Text".  Change this to "CGI Script" 
and save.

This may well now work.  If it doesn't, that may be due to one of the 
few incompatabilities between MacPerl and Unix perl, but try this 
first and let us know how it goes.
