No, unless the HTTP server is misconfigured, it will send you the result of executing the Perl program rather than the text of the program itself. You may encounter a server that serves up the program text, but that's almost certainly an error.

That said, if you want to see the brick and mortar that holds the monastery together, scroll to the very bottom of this page and click through to the "Everything Development Company". (No, I'm not going to include the link here. It's on every page. ;-)
