Just open them and save as CGI Script.

Sorry, but I don't get this questions. What do you mean with 'check 
the files'? Opening them as file with Netscape?
Please note, that the CGI scripts are a sort of application, that 
could only be opened with MacPerl. In fact, the text part of the 
script is saved as a resource in the CGI app. By convention, you 
should save CGI scripts with the extension .cgi or .acgi, plain text 
files with the .pl extension and droplets with the .plx extension to 
make things clear.
