The only reasons it would force you to download the code as text was:
a) if your server didn't support cgi/perl
b) if you uploaded Links2 into a directory that didn't support cgi/perl
You need to contact your host and get them to look into it, I don't see it as being a problem regarding Links2 itself, it is an issue regarding the compilation of perl scripts on your server.
Do you have any other working CGI scripts in the same directory?
Generally in order to resolve problems a certain amount of guessing has to be done, especially when there is only a small amount of information available.
The people who replied to you were all trying to help and assist and didn't deserve to be spoken to with that tone.
