$ file cgi*
cgipython-2.2-Linux-2.2.19-i686-with-debian-2.2.gz: ELF 32-bit LSB
executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared
libs), stripped


tells me it's an executable. Your browser has probably expanded it (without
renaming) on the fly. Try removing the .gz extension and running it (I
can't - I did the "file" under cygwin, which won't execute it, and quite
right too).
