Could you copy the /usr/pkg/libexec/cgi-bin/test-cgi script (which does not
use perl) into your server's root as `test.cgi' and try it?

As long as /usr/pkg/bin/perl is executable by the user id running the web
server (this requirement has not changed), you should not have a problem.
Is your perl executable by all (say, mode 0555)?
