The problem is how you are running the CGI. You've configured Apache,
but you aren't using Apache to serve up the file...you're just opening
the file.
Instead of file:/..., try http://localhost/cgi-bin/filename.cgi
To run a CGI program from the command line: just do it. It's a program
and it prints on stdout. If it takes parameters you have a different
story. You may be able to feed the params via stdin using echo or
typing them in directly.
