Basically if I just call the perl script from frontpage it runs in a dos window and then returns. I'm just trying to display the information within the browser using html formatting. I have no idea how to put the header information in to allow the page formatting to work. Right now it partially works with statements I've found in other scripts but it prints the lines of code rather than the output. What do I need in the perl script to use the CGI module and allow the page to display correctly. 
#!c:\perl
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

print <<WEB_PAGE;
    <html>
    <title>Perl Script Directory</title>
    <h1>Directory of c:\temp</h1>
WEB_PAGE

$dir = "C:\\temp";
unless (opendir(DIR, $dir)) {
    &print_msg("\tCan't open $dir\n");
    closedir(DIR);
    exit(0);
}

foreach (readdir(DIR)) {
    # don't include current dir or parent
    next if $_ eq '.' || $_ eq '..';
    $path = "$dir/$_";
    if (-d $path) {
    next;
        #&traverse($path);
        # check to see if file
        } elsif (-f _) {
        #if (!copy($path,"\\\\$Machine\\$Share{netname}\\temp\\")) {
        #    &print_msg("FAILED ($path) " . Win32::Lanman::GetLastErro
+r() . "\n");
        #} else {
        #    &print_msg(".");
        #}
    #print "<P $path>\n";
    print $path;
    
    }
}
sleep (10);
print "</html>\n";
