Try renaming the script to formmail.cgi.

If I recall properly only .cgi is the seen as a script by default by the 
Apache httpd.


You can as root check and modify /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf file if 
needed to work for you by adding in the appropitae place:

AddHandler cgi-script .pl

and restart the httpd:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart


But as said before the easier way is to just stick to the .cgi 
extension for scripts.
