I have never run a PERL script before, however I've got the
concept, but am lacking in execution.

I have a Win 95 PC.

Today I:
Installed IE 5.
Installed PWS.
Installed ActivePERL.
Installed Microsoft Windows Installer 1.1+
Installed DCOM.
installed MSVCRT
I then attempted to copy the DLL files to Windows/System
(however already there, and newer, so didn't replace.)

In IE 5 I then run this start.HTM file:

__________________________________
<HTML>
<head><titile>My first CGI (PERL)!</title></head>
<!--- This is my first GGI -------------->
<body><p><p>

<A href="Start.pl">Execute CGI (PERL)</a><br>

</body></HTML>
___________________________________
contents of file: Start.pl:

echo "Content-type: text/html"
echo
echo "<html>"
echo "<head><title>Response from First CGI</title></head>"
echo "<body>This is the response from first CGI.</body>"
echo "</html>"
___________________________________

An association between .pl to   E:\PERL\BIN\PERL.EXE "%1" %*
exists.

Upon execution I have a mysterious occurance.  I see (barely)
two windows buzz by too quick to read.  One appears to be a download
type box, then a DOS window.  Then I'm left on original browser
screen.

Where am I lacking in the connection to run the script?
