How to send perl output to browser?

Is it possible to redirect the output generated by a perl script directly to Netscape browser rather than the default <stdout> MS-DOS screen in Windows 95?  (Without using a server connection)  If so, how do I do it?

Go to the Microsoft site and download PWS (Personal Web Server). This puts a 'server' on your W95 machine with a CGI directory. You access it without having to go on-line.

You might also find it on Microsoft refered to as IIS.

Thanks obelix!
I guess DOS is still not dead, alas... This is a pretty good solution, however I cannot use it to process forms from FrontPage.  I have the Personal Web Server, but I have not been able to figure out how to make it recognize Perl scripts in the cgi-bin directory.  (Icd suggested this approach).
