This is a non-trivial task, if you are new to perl and web technologies. The first piece of advice is to seek the assistance of someone who knows how to configure your web server to allow you to run perl CGI programs. Since you want to run an external executable, additional security issues may surface, depending on what your program wants to access.

For your part, you can start learning cgi.
