New user - getting a perl script to run

[mwhiting]

Hi - I just signed up for heliohost, and I've gotten logged into the file manager today for the first itme. I have a perl script I'm trying to run, and it doesn't want to. It's a simple test screipt that I thought shouldn't have any problems, so any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

 

The script is at:

http://mwhiting.heliohost.org/cgi-bin/test.cgi

 

All it contains is:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Hello World.\n";

 

Permissions are set to 755, I can't see what else is the problem.

It needs an html header.

 

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello World.\n";

 

Or try this and then look at the source code:

 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI ':standard';
print header,
start_html('My Hello World'),
h1('My Hello World'),
"Hello World",
hr,
end_html;
