Your form and CGI script are in the same directory? Your script isn't
in /cgi-bin?

(Having a CGI script executable by all is not a good idea.)

Since this is RH6.1, presumably you're running Apache. Sounds like you
might want to visit http://www.apache.org and read the docs,
particularly the docs for ScriptAlias.
