The problem is that you have to allow apache to actually execute CGI 
programs in the directory you placed it in...
Debian by default uses /usr/lib/cgi-bin as its global CGI dir.
Put it in there and it should work right away.

And this means: deny everything ;-)

Read the apache manual to find out why...
