samgold has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question but everyone here is so smart I think someone will be able to help me.

I am running apache and mod_perl on windows 2000. I want to use CGI as my front page, index.html, but I am not sure how to do that? Right now I am doing this:
<html> <head> <title>HTML Test Page</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 +"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=/cgi-bin/index.cgi"> </head> </html>
I got the second meta line from someone elses code here. It runs the cgi script and it works fine but I want to be able to skip this step. I am new to html, apache and cgi so any help would be greatly appricated and any pointers on where to look would be great also.

Thanks,
Sam
