I would assume that it is something about an incorrect path. What does it say in the webserver logs, e.g. /var/log/httpd/access.log or .../error.log
Can you write the CGI to return information about what it is trying to do to the screen? If it's Perl CGI, something like printf "Here I am\n" ; should give you a message. You can then experiment with what it shows you so you can see what you are really trying to call, and if it exists. Remember that your CGI script will be running as the webserver, not yourself.
As another thought, how will you stop someone just connecting and running this over & over again, clogging up your server?

plack::handler::cgi
Plack::Handler::CGI(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Plack::Handler::CGI(3pm)
NAME
Plack::Handler::CGI - CGI handler for Plack
SYNOPSIS
Want to run PSGI application as a CGI script? Rename .psgi to .cgi and change the shebang line like:
#!/usr/bin/env plackup
# rest of the file can be the same as other .psgi file
You can alternatively create a .cgi file that contains something like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Plack::Loader;
my $app = Plack::Util::load_psgi("/path/to/app.psgi");
Plack::Loader->auto->run($app);
This will auto-recognize the CGI environment variable to load this class.
If you really want to explicitly load the CGI handler, you can. For instance you might do this when you want to embed a PSGI application
server built into CGI-compatible perl-based web server:
use Plack::Handler::CGI;
Plack::Handler::CGI->new->run($app);
DESCRIPTION
This is a handler module to run any PSGI application as a CGI script.
UTILITY METHODS
setup_env()
my $env = Plack::Handler::CGI->setup_env();
my $env = Plack::Handler::CGI->setup_env(\%override_env);
Sets up the PSGI environment hash for a CGI request from %ENV> and returns it. You can can provide a hashref of key/value pairs to
override the defaults if you would like.
