wild stab -- you do have execute permissions set, right?

	chmod +x fileone anotherfile yet/more/files/here

you also need to add to httpd.conf

	Options +ExecCGI

now that i think about it...

if yuo're doing that in .htaccess then you need to make sure that
httpd.conf allows overrides, too.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #6 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
How do you keep text from SCROLLING BY TOO DAMN FAST? :)
Before pressing the ENTER key of a command that you know will
generate a lot of output, "pipe" it through your pager:
	ls -lR | pager
	locate tgz | pager
	grep -r pattern /home | pager
You can also try <SHIFT>-<PAGE-UP> to scroll back. This works
both at the console and in rxvt/xterm windows.
