[wellylug] Perl scripts not executing in Firefox

While testing server systems this morning, I found that a perl script 
such as this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello, world!\n";

exit;

This will execute in at the root command prompt, but when invoked in 
Firefox, it just lists as plain text. Other scripts respond the same 
way. Some insight on this would help get the website functions operational.

Thanks for your advice so far. It has brought about significant 
progress. Looking forward to your words of wisdom.

Good advice is like good paint. It only works when applied.
