You can put Perl in "virtually" any extension, as long as you got your #!/usr/bin/perl coding correct, and your server supports Perl. Perl usually has 2 main extensions: .pl .cgi and .pm (.pm is Perl modules). What would be much easier is to put the html in the Perl code. This way you can avoid modules, not that it would matter but just to be quicker. If you are not sure of how to put HTML into Perl, here's a very simple code to use: 
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><b><u><font size=4>Yo! Wasup?</font></u></b></html>\n";

This is a VERY simple code but yet effective.

One person can change the corse of history. One person can destroy the human race. That one person is out there, I intend to find him.
