Hi,
In my test.pl file I have included "date" variable:

$mydate=`date`
print "$mydate\n";

But while I run test.pl from MS/DOS, the perl program outputs today's date after i "enter twice" after typing test.pl !!
Also when I include the above two lines in my .cgi script(perl), today's date does not show up!

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
