You probably forgot to output the content type & the following blank line.
Something like
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
would usually do it.
However, you should at least read your web server error log before
posting like this, it will usually tell you what went wrong. If you
were missing the content type, Apache's error logs will tell you
invalid script headers or similar. Then you should make sure you read
the CGI specifications. None of this is a Debian or a Linux problem.
