Well, that's tough :-). No need to shame, we all started once.

If that's your Redhat System, you may find the webserver Apache installed somewhere (maybe in /usr/local/apache, maybe elsewhere). CGI provides an interface for that webserver to run a script and output its result. Apache is configured via a file named httpd.conf. Within this file a directory needs to be configured as (example):

<Directory "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Options +ExecCGI    ### this is the relevant piece
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/"

[download]

So you place your script in that cgi-bin directory and open a web browser with the URL:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/your-script.pl

[download]

The output will show your server stats.

If that's not your own system, please ask the question "Where can I place my CGI scripts?" to your webmaster. She will help you.

Perhaps someone redhat compatible can give some better directions to start.
