It sounds like you either do not have the execute permission on the file

chmod +x filter.cgi

or you do not have the first line of your filter.cgi as follows

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

which is a special comment to the shell (it goes for any script) that you
want to run this script with the following 'interpreter'  change the path
after #! (pound-bang) to suit your perl executable's path, which you can
find usually through   the command 'which perl'
