Sorry now I am totally lost!

Executing in shell means that you first log into your account using telnet. Then execute the script in the command line.
Its something like this:
perl /path/to/script -w

What do you mean executing it in the shell?
Do you mean I type in http://www.noggy.net/cgi-bin/links.cgi and see what happens? I tried that and it just says internal server error.

it means something is wrong

try to execute the script in the shell and see what errors you get.

Oh before I forget: The html file has been changed to <form method=GET action="http://www.noggy.net/testsite/source/links/links.cgi">

However the original configuration was: <form method=GET action="http://www.noggy.net/cgi-bin/links.cgi">

I just changed it to see if I could get cgi working outside the cgi-shl directory but I can't. Freeola said it has to be in the cgi-shl to work.
