Did you save the script your trying to use on unix/Apache as a cgi from
MacPerl? that won't work, MacPerl makes some kind of app or something
out of it when saving as cgi, just save it as text.

No and no, you can't use a script saved as cgi, on unix, hmm I guess
I've already said that;). Save the script as text and it will run
happily on your unix server, no need to use unix at all.
