This is an Apache configuration issue...

Apache isn't configured to try to execute your program. You configured it
to send it to you instead.

This is completely off-topic, but read-on:

Just open your conf/httpd.conf, add a line like this:
ScriptAlias	/cgi-bin	/apache/.../whatever

Read the docs to see if I didn't swapped the 2 arguments, change the
/cgi-bin to the virtual directory you want to put your program in, and the
/apache/.../whatever to be the real directory in which your program is...
