What about a really simple CGI program? Does that work?

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw/:standard/;

print header,
    start_html('Does CGI Work?'),
    h1('Does CGI Work?'),
    "<a href='http://www.perl.org/troubleshooting_CGI.html'>",
    "Have you checked the CGI troubleshooting guide?</a>",
    end_html, "\n";
