Aha! I think I found some of the problem.

I think perhaps this was misunderstood. When I submitted the form with blank information it complained that the comments field was blank. Then when I filled in just a couple things I got the following response when I tried to submit it:
Not Found
The requested URL /cgi-bin/guestbook.pl (chmod a+rx) was not found on this server.
One problem appears to be in the configuration. The text
(chmod a+rx) is what you
do to the files, not what should be added to the configuration. You can usually do this from your FTP program when you do not have shell access at the account.
You'll need to check over the lines in the configuration section again, and re-upload the files. Then from within WS-FTP or CuteFTP, etc., you can (from Windows) right-click on the appropriate file, bringing up a menu with CHMOD as one of the choices. A small window will be brought up with the read/write/execute ability for owner/group/world. Make the appropriate changes there. Evidently the guestbook.pl program is already world-executable since it
will run to a certain extent.
