PERL/CGI ERROR

This may sound silly, but check your chmod.

Also a couple of ideas on style, you can use the EOT stuff to write raw 
html:

print <<EOT;
Content-type: text/html

<html>
    <head>
    <script language='javascript'>
    </script>
    </head>

    <body>
    etc...
    </body>
</html>
EOT

or, if you like using the print statements, as I do, use different 
delimiters and you won't run into " and ' nesting problems:

print qq|He said "Hello, he said 'this is a test' "|;

Just a nudge from a maintainers perspective...

Good Luck
