Hi samhaintha,

If you really want the Perl as a client-side scripting language, you can use PerlScript, which is part of the Active Perl package from ActiveState.

This will require every user to install ActivePerl though.

If you are more interested in a server-side solution, you can take a look at the Network/CGI Programming section in the Tutorials.
