No. Your files live in a directory on the server. Maybe the directory is /home/zealf/cgi-files. This directory is then mapped to the URL http://themaninthecharcoalsuit.com.au/cgi-bin. Perl wants to talk about the directory, not the URL. It might be that the directory is /home/zealf/cgi-bin, or even /home/web/themaninthecharcoalsuit.com.au/cgi-bin, but that is for you to know, or for you to ask from your hosting provider, or for you to find out, by looking at your shell account and its directory structure.
