Turned out to be exactly what I thought - your Perl install was not done properly, so Perl didn't know where to find vars_config.
No vars_config -> UBB slips into setup mode.
Upgrading is going to be a slight PITA for you in the future, as you'll need to edit cp.cgi and ultimatebb.cgi each time you upgrade... until your host fixes their Perl.
Aaaanyway.
As I said, if you hack your board again, Dave'll do the same thing he did this time... put every file in your cgi-bin into a directory called "thisdoesntbelong".
