I am very newbie ... one week

I use Windows 7

I installed Apache ... it works with,

Http:\\localhost test, and is running.

I installed Dwimperl. I can run simple Perl programs from the command line and Padre.

I had great pain but eventual success to get local host to output Hello World as web page,

code is in Hello2a.pl, it is:

#!C:\Dwimperl\Perl\bin\perl
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print "<html>\n";
print "<h1>Hello World</h1>\n";
print "</html>\n";

[download]

After many trials it worked when I put Hello2a.pl in,

C:\Apache2\cgi-bin

Now I open Hello2a.pl in Padre. when I run, the code is just output in the command line with the script as above. No web page with just Hello World appears.

I checked view options in Padre and chose HTML ... but on run get error ... no execution mode was defined etc Perhaps I need to install some CPAN modules ?

Any advice greatly appreciated as I've surfed and read without success.
