John,
I guess I don't understand what you want. I am the world's greatest expert on
perl and cgi because I have two weeks of part time experience so you can trust
everything I say ;-).
I clicked on the link you sent for test.pl and I just happen to have that
script which runs fine on my box. I then copied the script to the same
location but with the name test.cgi, and it still runs fine. Here's the
output:

Is this the script you are working with?
#!/usr/bin/perl
# your httpd.conf should have something like this:
# Alias /perl/ /real/path/to/perl-scripts/
# <Location /perl>
# SetHandler perl-script
# PerlHandler Apache::Registry
# PerlSendHeader On
# Options +ExecCGI
# </Location>
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<b>Date: ", scalar localtime, "</b><br>\n";
print "%ENV: <br>\n", map { "$_ = $ENV{$_} <br>\n" } keys %ENV;

I know "works fine here may not be the best answer, but sometimes it helps.
Did you set the permissions on the test.cgi to something like 755?
