Gotta know a few things ahead of time: what kind of server (Windows or
UNIX) and the location of the perl interpreter.
Making some gross assumptions, try:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello World!<BR>\n";
---
Next, see if the server has CGI installed:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
use strict;
my $htmlPage = new CGI;
print $htmlPage->header;
print "Hello World!<BR>\n";
Place the script in a cgi-bin directory (upload using ASCII format), give it
the right permissions (rwxr-x-r-x), make sure it ends in .pl (or .cgi) and
then in your Web browser, go to that URL. These are also making more
assumptions, but give it a shot and let us know what does or doesn't work if
you have further complications.
