you are right , it's a perl cgi, to use it , for example you use unix box and netscape webserver. you should:<br />
1. should install perl, and make a cgi dirctory in the web server setting, say &quot;cgi&quot;<br />
2. in your html file, put a href:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;cgi/perlname.pl&quot; &gt;&nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;<br />
3. put the perl file to the cgi directory.<br />

CGI-Counter

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
