CGI Scripts
to Create a Website with Interactive Features

hello_script.pl

This script will print the words Hello World on the computer screen.

#!/usr/bin/perl #This is the shebang line
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

print "<html>\n";
print "<head><title>Hello World</title></head>\n";
print "<body>\n";
print "<h1>Hello, world!</h1>\n";
print "</body>\n";
print "</html>\n";

Note: If the scripts don't work:
1...Check the shebang line and make sure it is the path recommended by your web host to access the perl interpreter on your server.
2...Be sure to use the Chmod function on your ftp client or file manager to change the permissions of the script to 755
