None of my cgi/pl scripts will run.

I've been having a problem where absolutely none of the perl scripts I upload will run on my web server. I contacted my hosting service and they uploaded the following Hello World script to my cgi-bin which does work:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Tell perl to send a html header.
# So your browser gets the output
# rather then <stdout>(command line
# on the server.)
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
# print your basic html tags.
# and the content of them.
print "<html><head><title>Hello World!! </title></head>\n";
print "<body><h1>Hello world</h1></body></html>\n";
I made a copy and saved it as "test.pl" when I hit save, as in putting the quotes around it makes it save as test.pl and not test.pl.txt.
I changed the output text to "Hey, this works!" instead of "Hello world".
I saved it, uploaded it via ftp, and changed the permissions to 755 (-rwxr-xr-x). This script won't work at all.
I've got several files uploaded. Only one works, it's saved as a .cgi extension, but I can't figure out what's allowing that one to work but none of my other ones.
Permissions on all of my files are set correctly. They've all go the "print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";" line in them. I'm uploading them all in ascii format, and they're all pointing to my /usr/bin/perl directory as they should.
Every file I've uploaded gives me a 500 Server Error Message.
Can anyone help me out?
