WinNT comes with "Personal Web Server" (PWS) which is how I'm learning Perl
CGI. You can put your scripts in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin. You can then
run them by going to:
your_homepage\cgi-bin\your_script.pl. I'm not sure if Windows 98 comes with
PWS. Sorry I couldn't be of more help - just learning myself.

You certainly do need a web server before you can run CGI scripts on the
server side, even if you are only using it to learn on your local machine.
It doesn't matter what the browser is set up for, because the browser
isn't what is executing the script.
I recommend you find a good book on basic CGI principles, or find a
website that has such. Go to Google and type 'CGI Tutorial' and start
from there.
