My experience is saying that it will be a permission problem on 
your unix machine. Maybe the cgi script can't execute the script 
because he can't access the path or it don't have an execute bit.
try something like in the dir where your cgi script is standing:
su nobody /test/perl/script.pl 
else take a look in your error log file of your webserver.
(nobody is the user where your webserver is running under).
