Netscape has no business executing perl scripts. It is a html parser.
Executing of perl scripts is the job of your web server. Your scripts
should be in a directory that has ExecCGI permissions, and your scripts
would most likely need to be -r-xr-xr-x as well as have a .cgi extension
(unless they are in the cgi-bin directory where they can have any
extension). Only then will the web server execute the scripts and send
the output to Netscape or whatever browser you use.
