Not sure what linux OS commands are, and reserving my comments on what a
bad idea this is, but anyway...

Ok, this is fine.

And what is this supposed to do? It's basically a no-op. perl will
sleep forever, never doing anything. Ever. You do not need this.

Put your executable files in /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/
Make sure they are executable
Run them from the browser using http://yourserver/cgi-bin/filename
Try following script as your cgi test.
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
while (($key, $val) = each %ENV) {
print "$key = $val<BR>\n";
}
