If you are using RH Linux, you can (must) manager packages with 'rpm'.
Do 'man rpm' for info.  There is a HOWTO and book.

I need the following to make my scripts work:

the script needs to be readable and executable, try 'chmod a+rx
myscript.cgi'.  The directory also needs to be readable and
executable, I think, 'chmod a+rx cgi-bin'

you should execute the script from the command prompt too
