For future reference, you should also let people know that SELinux has
been disabled already. It's the first likely candidate when things stop
working on RHEL.

If you have simply placed the script in the cgi-bin directory, but left
the name as "maint.pl.v2.9", this will cause problems. The script refers
to itself in order to perform a task and expects to be named "maint.pl".
If you really wanted to call it something else, you would need to edit
the script and change those references.
Otherwise, just rename it to "maint.pl".

When debugging CGI problems, a good place to look are the web-server
logs. For most servers (including Apache), they include a lot of helpful
information. They will probably be in a location like /var/log/apache2/.

Cheers, Phil.
