That won't do, you need to configure a webserver to execute that code. Th=
ere are 2 ways to go about it:
1: install Apache, you can find a ready-to-go distribution at http://apac=
hefriends.org
2: configure IIS to execute perl CGI, which is not extremely difficult, b=
ut requires you to know how to create a website on IIS.
Also, the top results on that search sadly still refer to ActiveState, so=
are not relevant anymore.
In a sense, what you need to do is add a .pl/.cgi association to IIS and =
configure it to open these files with Strawberry/perl/bin/perl.exe
If no further information will be given here by the time I get home (to a=
windows machine), I'll post a more thorough guide.
