To see if you have CGI.pm handy in Perl's include path, execute the following
$ find `perl -e 'print "@CGI"'` -name \*.pm -print | grep -i cgi
You may want to add '|less' on the end, or drop the grep to see what
modules are handy.

Do you have libcgi-perl installed? I gather from your URL that you are
using unstable. You could use the debian packages to get your perl
stuff, or CPAN:
# perl -MCPAN -e 'install CGI'
perhaps. Think about which route you want before you go down that path though

What lines have you added to httpd.conf (and other conf modules)
relating to the directory /home/tony/cgi ? Should it not be something
like cgi-bin, or /home/tony/public_html/cgi ? Is here a .htaccess file
in this directory, if so what is the contents?
