cgi download not executing

I want to test if my cgi works. I am using this script I got from a tutorial:

#!C:\Perl\bin -w
# test.cgi by Bill Weinman [http://bw.org/]
# Copyright 1995-2003 William E. Weinman
# Free Softare: Use and distribution under the same terms as perl.

use strict;
use CGI;

my $q = CGI::Vars();

print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n";

print "\n";
print "Versions:\n=================\n";
print "perl: $]\n";
print "CGI: $CGI::VERSION\n";

print "\n";
print "CGI Values:\n=================\n";

for my $k (sort keys %$q) {
print "$k [$q->{$k}]\n";
}
print "\n";

print "Environment Variables:\n=================\n";

for my $k (sort keys %ENV) {
print "$k [$ENV{$k}]\n";
}
print "\n";

The probelm is when I try to execute it asks me if I want to download instead. I followed the tutorial on how to set up perl, I have enabled it to read cgi set the interpreter to C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe and added the extentions pl cgi. Do i need to put anything in the User CGI Environment Variables

I am using the http://###.#.#.#/cgi-bin/test.cgi format and the http://http://###.#.#.#:##/cgi-bin/test.cgi

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Are you sure that your using the right extension for Perl , the perl is
"cgi" and "pl" without the quotes , you need to go back and make
sure that you followed all instructions. Good Luck ! *sigh* lol

Note: It would help if you posted a scr shot of
your CGI Parameters , no I don't mean the txt.

Set Resolve scripts using the #! line to No !

This will fix the problem you are having :)

I changed it to NO and it didn't work. It works when I use a .pl scripts but not .cgi scripts

That's interesting. I wonder why. Do you think it depends on the ISP that you're using?

Tripod do not allow direct links to images unless you spoof the referrer as from a Tripod site...

But I'm able to see it, and I haven't been to a tripod site any time recently.

when this doesn't work , is the cgi extension on your files .CGI instead
of .cgi , if so then thats your problem , abyss's patterns in the current
version of Abyss Web Server are buggy so you will have to use .cgi

the .cgi on file extension is matches what is on the config screen so it isn't that
