demo problem

I've just installed mapserv 3.3.010, and have been trying to make the
demo work.  I am having trouble getting mapserv to display.  The .gif
files generate, but don't come up.  Unlike the online demo, they
generate in the ms_demo directory rather than the /tmp directory. I was
trying to just display a county outline for starters.  At times, I've
turned the logging function on, and it runs frustratingly clean.  My
Apache error log, however, shows the following:

script not found or unable to stat:
/home/httpd/cgi-bin/DEMO956440138790.gif
script not found or unable to stat:
/home/httpd/cgi-bin/DEMOsb956441272848.gif
script not found or unable to stat:
/home/httpd/cgi-bin/DEMOleg956441272848.gif
script not found or unable to stat:
/home/httpd/cgi-bin/DEMOref956441272848.gif

The extents were derived using shpinfo.pl in the
../mapscript/perl/examples directory.  I changed the units to DD
(decimal degrees) to match the shape file.

I've listed the following below:

* the forms section of my demo_init.html 
* my demo.map file
* my demo.html file

I am running Mandrake Linux 6.1 on an intel box, with a 2.2.14 kernel,
using Apache 1.3.9. and Perl 5.6.0.

Many thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Sara
