I too had the same problem of tring to run CGI scripts under Windows 98. I
tried running them from the command line and they worked fine, but I wanted
to get a feel for them in the browser.
I thought I was doomed until I discovered the wonders of Apache. Go here
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/windows.html for instructions on using and
downloadin Apache for Win32 (You will also need the Microsoft Installer, but
the page contains information on getting it).
Instead of the normal shebang line, have "#!PERL" at the top of your script
and plop the script in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin\ (Or
what ever directory you installed Apache in), and you should get normal
output to the browser (Remember to include the MIME content line though).
Hope this helps.
-Cheers, Scott.
