Hmm.. that code is missing a " character, also ";" at the end of each line, or maybe you bad copied your perl code...
First of all check that this line: #!/usr/bin/perl (check the marks) is the real path to your perl interpreter ... you can verify doing : which perl the line resulting should be the first line in your perl cgi. Also, for checking the real problem with your cgi program, go to your logs, usually /var/log/httpd/error_log, and read the lines about the error for more information. I hope this information can help. KGS P.S. Also trying to write clear html code is a good idea, you should include body tags .
