Check the following:

-The script is executable (chmod +x /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/script.pl)
-The script has the right interpreter in the head. (#!/bin/perl or whatever 
`which perl` gives you - put this on the first line of script.pl)

-If that doesnt work, run 'perl script.pl' from a shell on your asterisk box 
and check for syntax errors. (Make sure to have 'use strict;' in script.pl).
-If no syntax errors, try stepping through it by issuing AGI result codes to 
the script if that what your script is expecting (e.g. "200 result=0" or 
whatever the rest of the codes are) and check for undefined subs or 
something. 

It helps to 'use strict;' in your AGI scripts so that the interpreter does 
variable name checking for you and it shows up when you run your script from 
the command line.
