I checked your server and got it working (knock wood) PM'ed you the problems it seems you were having. They should be server-specific problems, so there is no need in going in to it here. I hope that it helps.
here's a tip for other folks: you may not need to run the auction.pl script in the cgi-bin folder if that is what is causing problems (some servers are strange about what you can/can't put in the cgi-bin folder as far as permissions). Some servers will also let you run a .pl or a .cgi script from any folder, so if you are STILL getting errors then try uploading the folder named 'auction' to your forum root directory, and then change your config area of the auction script accordingly. If that works better then change the file path in the template to point to that directory instead of your cgi-bin directory. In fact, that is how I originally wrote the instructions, but realized that some people who can't run perl scripts from any directory other than the cgi-bin and would be out of luck, so by default I decided to tell everyone to put it in the cgi-bin directory, but as I said that is not necessary in many cases.
