Yes, after a few tries ....
The script was simple :
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<HTML;
<html>
<head>
<title>A Simple Perl CGI</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>A Simple Perl CGI</h1>
<p>Hello World</p>
</body>
HTML
exit;
It's in http://www.alextweedly.on-rev.com/cgi-bin/hw.pl
It's actually in <my home folder>/public_html/cgi-bin/hw.pl
permissions is 755
The thing that took me a few tries was line endings - I initially
transferred it with the on-rev client (from Windows), and that failed to
convert the line endings (file was 210 bytes locally and on the server).
I switched to transferring it with FileZille (setting the transfer type
to ASCII, not leaaving it as auto - just to be safe). Now the file is
210 bytes on my laptop, but 196 on the server - and now it works. I had
a similar problem (only took hours to solve it) when I tried using Python.
So - any time I have a problem on on-rev, first thing I do is look at
the line endings ...
Good luck

I'm happy with how easy it is to get started with the on-rev website. I'm stuck, though, with trying to get a Perl script to work. Can anyone post a working setup recipe? I only need a feeble "hello" to get going.
I guess I'll need:
name of file
text of file
placement of file on server
extension on file
permissions on files and folders
I've tried every permutation of the above and nothing has worked.
Thanks in advance.
