When you send a page via HTTP, there is a special header that you must send that tends the client what type of document you are sending. This is followed by two returns (\n\n), at which point you can then send your HTML or other text.

You can generate this header using the header() function in the CGI.pm module. It's probably a good idea to browser through the documentation of this module as well as there's a lot to be learned from it on how to dynamical create HTML documents.
