I have what I hope is a small problem running a Perl script in Firefox. I have the attached script on a Red Had Linux Server that is using the Apache web server which I think I have configured correctly to run Perl. I'm am trying to run it from my XP PC using both Firefox and IE. I am connecting using http://linux_server/plhello2.htm. In IE it works i.e. I get "PerlScript says: Hello, world!" however if I use the same address in Firefox I just get a blank screen. Anyone any ideas as to why Firefox is not interpreting the script? 
<DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
<meta>
<meta>
<title>PerlScript sample: Hello, world</title>
<link>
</head>
<ActiveState>
<BODY>
<script language="PerlScript">
$window->document->write("PerlScript says: Hello, world!");
</script>
