Run CGI on Local Machine

[eatr]

Trying to run some basic CGI locally without much success.
In Mozilla, I just get the source code. In Internet Explorer, I get a mixture of source and the expected html output.

If I don't have a webserver configured, is it possible to test this code on my local machine?

I don't plan on serving these files, I simply want to format some data as html.

thanks

You need an HTTP server to run CGI scripts from a web browser.

http://httpd.apache.org/

search on google for "apache setup tutorial" after you download and install the apache server.

So if I want to create html pages for local use, using Perl, what do I do?

It's cool, I figured it out:

all the 'prints' are to an html file
