Correct. > 2) and formatting the output in html-style: > print "Content-type: text/html"; > print "<html>"; Almost. You need 2 newlines after the content-type declaration. print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; And... 3) The script must be executable. > But I dont get the results in the browser. >I call the script from a html document using: > > <!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/hello.pl"> This is different. #2 above applies to CGI scripts (#1 and #3 also apply), you do not need to do this here because this isn't a CGI script, it is a server side exec (which only needs #1 and #3). Also, the syntax is wrong... at least for apache. Use "cmd", not "cgi"... and use the full path to the file. <!--#exec cmd="cgi-bin/hello.pl"> Also, a quick troubleshooting technique... What happens when you run "cgi-bin/hello.pl" (NOT "perl cgi-bin/hello.pl") at the command line? If it runs, then you should be ok, otherwise you have a problem.

Reading I found that I have to do only 2 things: 1) Add a first line to my script (whereis perl): #! /usr/bin/perl 2) and formatting the output in html-style: print "Content-type: text/html"; print "<html>"; ... etc. But I dont get the results in the browser. I call the script from a html document using: <!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/hello.pl"> The script simple never apear. It must print out "Hello World!" in the browser (Netscape or IE).
