Pardon my simplistic answers.

Did you chmod the file to set permissions?
Is the file actually called "script" or is it "script.cgi" or "script.pl"???

I believe most servers (and saw this in the RAQ2 docs) are configured so
that you have to use these extensions.

Again, sorry if I'm just being too simple minded in looking for a solution
but I'm unsure of your level of experience.
