Something screwy is going on here:
[cgi-bin]$ ls -l
total 8
-rwxr-xr-x 1 apache peter 5051 Mar 4 15:49 iBtest.cgi
[cgi-bin]$ head -4 iBtest.cgi
#! /usr/bin/perl
# Change the above line to reflect your server's path to perl

[cgi-bin]$ which perl
/usr/bin/perl
[cgi-bin]$ ls -l /usr/bin/perl
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 708188 Aug 10 2001 /usr/bin/perl
[cgi-bin]$ ./iBtest.cgi
bash: ./iBtest.cgi: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[cgi-bin]$ perl iBtest.cgi

<html>
<head>
...etc...
This is a default virgin RH 7.2 plus all updates.
Your task, Foo, should you decide to accept it, is to find out
why the f**k Perl won't execute when invoked via the shell...
it won't work as http://localhost/cgi-bin/iBtest.cgi either...
