in reply to Accessing perl script through browser

Perl scripts do not run from your browser: your browser contacts a webserver and the server runs the (perl)script. Is that what you want to do?

All HTML (any version) is just text which your script (running inside the server) sends out on STDOUT. As Perl is very good in manipulating text, it is best suited to do this.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
