Have you bothered to change the variable values like it says???
Have you checked that your webserver has CGI script support? And if so, have you CHMOD'd the script 755?

When you say it doesn't work... could you be a bit more descriptive?
Does it come up with 'Internet server error' or does it just prompt you to download the CGI rather than execute it?
