Problem: The program does not execute, instead, your browser displays or downloads the source code. Either your web server is not configured to execute files with the extension .cgi, or your web server is not set up to execute scripts in the directory you have placed them.

Resolution: Some web servers are only configured to run Perl programs with a ".pl" extension. Try renaming the program you are running to a ".pl" ending instead of ".cgi". Also, you may have to move the scripts into a CGI Directory. If you have to reinstall the program in a different location, we recommend that you delete your old installation first.
