Have you checked the Perl FAQs that mention the CGI?
perldoc -q CGI
Where can I learn about CGI or Web programming in Perl?
What is the correct form of response from a CGI script?
My CGI script runs from the command line but not the browser. (500
Server Error)
How can I get better error messages from a CGI program?
How do I make sure users can't enter values into a form that cause my
CGI script to do bad things?
How do I decode a CGI form?

Get it to work with .html first.
Once that is working, then move on to getting it to work with secure HTML.

You shouldn't say that you will be giving HTML unless you actually
give HTML.
Your output looks a lot more line text/plain than text/html.

Then you do not have a Perl problem, your problem is somewhere else.

Yes, your web server appears to be not configured correctly.

I dunno, we help with Perl here.
Folks that can help with server setup hang out somewhere else.

Ask Perl questions in a Perl newsgroup.
Ask server setup questions in a server newsgroup, such as:
