Run the script from commandline. There you might see some error messages.
The script is sending to STDOUT before any HTML header is sent.
check the webservers error.log carefully. There you might already see an
hint.
With perl mostely: Modules missing or syntax errors in the config file.

Maybe adding this line at the top of the script might show you the
errors in the browser:
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

Take care that you upload perl scripts in ASCII mode.
