What you've posted still looks like it could be consistent with the cgi 
file not executing properly.

I've just had a look at my own setup, and even if I disable the cgi file 
from executing it still reports back as  "200", so that doesn't really 
prove much unfortunately.

It's very simple to check one way or another though ... you just need to 
put another really simple cgi script in the same folder as tr.cgi, and 
see whether that executes properly or not.

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<HTML;
<html>
<head>
<title>A Simple Perl CGI</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>A Simple Perl CGI</h1>
<p>Hello World</p>
</body>
HTML
exit;

If that fails as well [if it doesn't convert into html code] then you 
know what your problem is.

Try it out, and let me know how you go.
