Apache just isn't configured to catch .pl extensions and translate
them through the Perl interpreter.
I haven't actually done this work (aside from installing mod_perl,
making sure the module is loaded and making sure .pl is interpreted)
so that's the best I can do right now.

Just to test the script, you can do "perl scriptname.pl" from the
commandline to see the output.

Thanks,

act according to the wickedness of their spirits whenever they have
free scope.
