Hi

It could be a lot of things that are wrong with it. Unfortunately you can't get access to the Apache error logs, which would tell you for sure. If the script is written by someone else, lets assume that the script itself is OK (that is, there are no syntax errors in the script and it outputs the right HTTP headers)

Three probable causes are:

The file is not in the cgi-bin directory. To run Perl scripts in other directories you need to setup Apache with a .htaccess file to allow it - so try running it in cgi-bin first.
The shebang (#!...) line at the top of the script is wrong. It should be "#!/usr/bin/perl -w" (at least on server 2). If that fails "#!/usr/bin/env perl" should work on all systems.
You didn't set the permissions properly. Make sure that the scripts have the permissions listed in the readme file

Hope this helps. If all else fails... panic! Or, post the actual source so we can see what could be going wrong.
