Well, you're not printing any headers out. Check the IIS error logs. Where is your shebang line? Do you have pl/cgi extension associated with perl or is IIS relying on the shebang line? You also have to escape the / in closing html tags if you are going to write them out via perl. e.g <table></table> should be <table><\/table>
I'd suggest using CGI.pm. This takes the hard work out of writing cgi pages.
