May sound like a dumb problem
Hello,
I have just regestered with a new host using UNIX and can not seem to get my perl scripts to execute, so I have now turned to professional in their trades.

the problem is that my scripts are being displayed as text files and not executing. A quick look will give you an idea, www.causeandfx.org.uk/cgi-bin/hello.cgi

using the command 'which perl' in telnet, gives /usr/bin/perl

I have set default setting for transfer to Ascii and have ensured it is transfering in ascii.

Directory listing
-rwxr-xr-x 1 domain62 vweb 211 May 14 00:13 hello.cgi

I have set permission to 755 and verified this with the above directory listing.

I have debugged the program through perl with the command 'perl -d hello.cgi' and no errors where report and worked fine.

is there anything that I am missing or is it a more serious issue.
thanks
jon
