CLI is a command-line interface version -- it's not designed to run in a Web environment, so it's output is less "Webby" -- no HTTP headers, no HTML-style messages.

Re-read your installation instructions, and build yourself a CGI version (sorry, I'd tell you how but I don't do *nix builds myself) -- then install that as your CGI program. The CLI isn't a CGI, and won't work properly as one. Cheers!
