in reply to (OT) HTML video tag is not working in cgi

hippo is right

/home/ubuntu_Workspace/c/video.mp4 is not an URL it's a path of your file system.

This might work with HTML loaded from your disk, because the browser assumes the file:// protocol.

But if you are routing thru a web-server you have to provide a real URL ( http://... )

As you see this is not a Perl problem, please try to acquire some web-server basics.
