in reply to Can't get Perl script to run

In addition to the info provided in the previous replies, note that you may have to use some address of the form
http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.cgi
if you are trying to run the script on your own machine where the server is installed (that seems to be pretty standard for the loop back address; you should be able to use 127.0.0.1 also.)
