You need to have a web server installed that will call perl for the script.
http://www.omnicron.ca has OMNIHTTP'd which is free for non-commercial use.
If Perl is in your path, the web server will automatically call it and
display the results to the browser.
Keep in mind that something that works fine with a paricular web server
won't necessarily work fine for another.
Always include the following line for HTML output through perl since most
browsers won't interperit the data received from the servers without it.
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

Subject: ActivePerl - how does one configure for HTML
I have Active Perl installed on my laptop and it works find on the command
line but when I try and call a .pl file from HTML I get the code displayed
instead of the correct output. I found references to associating perl with
the browser but I've get to get it right.
Is there a website with detailed instructions or can someone point me in the
right direction.
Many Thanks
Christopher
