sorry about the previous post. Apache is not configured properly to run cgi
scripts. As I said before, you will need a line like the following in
srm.conf to tell apache that the directory contains scripts:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/aromes/public_html/cgi-bin
and restart the server.

yes. you need this.
you will get a different error for this once you get apache configured
properly - so configure apache first.
It's been ages since I downloaded cgi-lib.pl so I can't tell you where to
get it. There are more recent packages that do the same thing.
if you execute query.pl from the command line, you should get a runtime
error, complaining that cgi-lib.pl could not be found, until you get
cgi-lib.pl
