Web servers can be configured to allow includes but not execs.  Make sure
your server is configured to allow execs (not always a good idea, though).

You've run the perl script by itself to be sure it executes at all, right?

The Netscape server has a GUI to the configuration options and under the
'content management' section, there is a link to 'parse html'.  That's
where to find the SSI settings.  You would have to contact your admin (if
it isn't you) to check this out.
