Have you checked your webserver logs?   That's the first thing I 
suggest that my students try. :)  Oftentimes, there are error messages 
there that'll help a bunch.

You might also want to try running simpler perl scripts to try and rule 
out problems.  A little "hello world" program might work where your 
more complex perl script doesn't, and thus give you some clues as to 
what's going wrong.
