Hello Perlers,

I'm very new to CGI programming. I'm working with following:
Browser: Mozilla Firefox
Server: Apache 2.0.54
OS: Windows XP 

I'm going through the following online tutorial for cgi: 
http://www.cgi101.com/book/

The 1st cgi code that I wrote is as follows:

first.cgi
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!perl/bin/perl -wT
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
print " Content-type : text/html\n\n"; 
print "Hello World!\n";
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But when I write 'http://localhost/~P4/first.cgi' in the browser location 
window (P4 is my username), it said "Internal Server Error". I'm working on 
my personal computer. The tutorial says that it might happen because I 
haven't changed file permissions using 'chmod 755 filename'. But there is no 
chmod command in Windows XP. Also, if I don't want to change file 
permission, will the code not be executed?

Please Help,
Thanks in advance for your help and time.
Regards,

Aditi
