Running perl scripts

[alteisenriese]

I tried to run a perl script by pointing my browser to http://mydomain/file.pl but it didnt work and it gave me an 404 error. Im a newbie in perl i dont understand how to run it.

Is there any requirements or anything that i have to set up first before running a perl script?

A 404 error is telling you the page couldn't be found. Normally a perl script will give you a 500 error if it doesn't work. Make sure you set the file permissions to 755 on a cgi/perl script. If it still doesn't work then post the script for somebody to see.
