If your in the directory the cgi is in then
./program-name

if not then
/path/to/it/program-name

some programs can run from anywhere if they are in your path like
webalizer  (Your config may vary)

if it is a perl program you must edit/check the first line with an something
like pico and make sure it can find perl!
to find perl enter
whereis perl

running "perl program-name" may hide an error from you?

any way read this for sure
