CGI question

spencerr1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm learning CGI bought a couple of books. I can run scripts from one book but I can't from the other book. I have tried to fix this introductory script but no output.

<html>
<head>
<title>Animal</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="cgi-bin/animal.cgi" METHOD=POST>
Which animal? <INPUT type="text" name="animal">
<P><INPUT type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

CGI script
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI ':standard';
my $animal;
$animal = param('animal');
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Show me the $animal";

Any ideas. Thanks
