A *simple* explanation would be to ensure that you print the header first (assuming
that your
shebang line points to the Perl interpreter and that you are running this as a CGI
script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw/:standard/;
print header( 'text/plain' ), "Welcome to Perl!";
exit;
However, that response is a bunch of handwaving without really explaining what is
going on. If
you want more information, you can read through my CGI course at
http://www.easystreet.com/~ovid/cgi_course. Lesson 1 demonstrates a very simple CGI
script and
Appendix 1 (which you might find more immediately valuable if my fix doesn't work for
you) will
tell you how to get your scripts running in the first place.

Someone asked me how to count to 10 in Perl:
push@A,$_ for reverse q.e...q.n.;for(@A){$_=unpack(q|c|,$_);@a=split//;
shift@a;shift@a if $a[$[]eq$[;$_=join q||,@a};print $_,$/for reverse @A
