your apache is not properly configured and doesn't
recognize /cgi-bin/ as de facto directory for
executing scripts.
If your script isn't in the appropriate directory
(like /html) then it is regarded as compliant mime
type and its content is being retrieved.
Look at apache config file and move your script to
/cgi-bin.
