This means that probably mailman was expecting a certain web server GID
but it got another one. Look at your logs and see if it wrote an error. If
its like mine I didn't have any mailman stuff being written to logs so 
check your syslog.conf to make sure its send mailman logs.

all the cgi scripts are binaries. You can't run perl on them.
