I think something might be wrong.... Does a simple "hello world" program
work?
There are several things you have to get right for a CGI to work. Read
thoroughly http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/cgi.html
The things to focus on are:
- is the program actually working? (test from command line)
- send header before any data (even before error output)
- if you access files, does the apache user have enough privileges?
- if you call other programs or modules, can apache find them?
since you get a server error you must've already got some of them right,
e.g.
- program is executable
- apache recognises program as CGI
so you're halfway there...

Are you sure? What about the access log - what HTTP code is recorded?
Rgds,

you need to first install PERL (activestate perl)
then reconfigure your paths in each calling script file
to reflect this new location of Perl.exe file
