[MacPerl-WebCGI] MacPerl, ASIP and cgi's



I'm running ASIP 6.3, MacPerl 5.2.0r4 on a Server G4 400.
 
I'm trying to get perl cgi's to run, but am having little luck.
 
Here's what I've tried so far:
 
  Created a cgi-bin folder (as a general repository for all perl scripts)
 
  I've written a Perl script and placed it in the cgi-bin folder
  Created a MIME type for the file so ASIP will know what to open the file as when it's called.
  Called the script from a web form
  RESULT: It displayed the code for the Perl script.
 
  I've written a Perl script and placed it in the cgi-bin folder
  Saved the Perl script as a cgi
  Created a MIME type for the file so ASIP will know what to open the file as when it's called.
  Called the script from a web form
  RESULT: It displayed a blank screen.
 
What might I need to do additionally that I'm not catching?
Is there something that I've overlooked that I should be aware of when attempting to run cgi's like this?
 
Frustratedly yours,
