.CGI files are CGI scripts. I don't believe this is proper Perl, it is a
different kind of scripting language.
To run something.pl you need to start it with
#!/usr/bin/perl (or wherever your perl is in the path),
write the script beneath it, and chmod +x something.pl. This last one is
important, you can't execute a non-executable file.
Good luck!
