If I'm not mistaken, your problem isn't a MacPerl or even a Perl problem. I
think your problem is that in order for a CGi to be parsed, it needs to be
served - ie. by a server. A web server (if you configure it properly) will run
the CGI before serving it - otherwise your web browser will just read it.

Get a copy of a Mac server, run it on your machine, and serve up your test
files from there. I think there's a freeware server called Quid Pro Quo, or
something like that.
