You (will) have a script that produces HTML. Do you want to run it
once and store the resulting page on the web server, or do you want to
set the script up as a CGI script so it runs every time anyone loads
its URL?
If you just want to run it once (or if you want to run it every 5
minutes from cron), then just use shell I/O redirection to put the
page where you want it. That's the easiest way, I think.
bash$ perl myscript.pl > /var/www/html/mypage.html
If you want a CGI script, that's more involved. Start with the Apache
CGI documentation.

This will work.

This will work too.

You're missing a semicolon. Otherwise, it's the same as the previous one.

First, don't use an ampersand ("&") in a file name or a URL.
Call it IP-and-ports.html (or something).
If you're asking how to write to a file in Perl, that would
be like this.
open MYHANDLE, ">/var/www/html/IP-and-ports.html"
or die "IP-and-ports.html: $!";
print MYHANDLE "<HTML><BODY>Testing...</BODY</HTML>\n";
close MYHANDLE;
Note that there's no comma after MYHANDLE on the print statement. But
there is a comma after MYHANDLE on the open. (Don't you just love
Perl?)

That's a whole 'nother topic.
