I think you just neglected to select "Text File" for "Save as type" in the Save dialog. For anyone reading this who may not realise: The get_iplayer and get_iplayer.cgi scripts are plain text files. For whatever reason, IE won't believe the Content-Type header that specifies a text/plain MIME type for the response containing the get_iplayer script. Given that the get_iplayer.cgi works OK, it might just be the case that IE is too stupid to work without a file extension. Whatever the case, I'll add a relevant note to the instructions.
