Are you asking how to upload this to a webserver? Wouldn't you be better simply using HTML, since your perl code just prints headers then an html page? I'd suggest taking a look at the CGI module Ovid's CGI Course - Resurrected and Updated! and Web Programming from the tutorials section of this site.	[reply]

Do you mean display the output of your script in a web browser? If so, then you need a web server. You could set one up on your local machine if you are just looking to play around with CGI scripts. Try the Apache web server. It works on most platforms and is free. You will need to configure it a bit, though, so it properly runs CGI scripts. Update: Link fixed.	[reply]
