Hi, I am using my computer as a webserver through apache and whenever i try to run a perl script, i get an error. This is the script that i try to run: 
#!/usr/bin/perl 

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; 

print <<END_HTML;
<html>
<head></head>
<body>Hello again, World!</body>
</html>
END_HTML

[download]
I put it in the cgi-bin of my webroot and i named it hello.cgi. so when i go to it on the web
http://webpage/cgi-bin/hello.cgi
this is the error that comes up:
The requested URL /cgi-bin/hello.cgi was not found on this server.
I changed the permission of the hello.cgi to 755 and i have also tried naming it hello.pl, but nothing seems to be working. Perl is in the indicated place and everything. I don't know what i need to do to get this working. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS!
