Looks like a web server configuration problem to me. Instead of
executing the CGI program, it's sending the program to the browser.

I don't think that's relevant. You are seeing static text from inside
the executable. You would find every error message the program can
generate there. It doesn't reflect the error that's actually
occurring.

Yeah, I would think that would ensure that it would *not* work. CGI
programs need to be in the CGI directory so the web server knows to
execute them, not return them as files.
