If you'r talking about PERL as CGI then

Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

You need to output it exactly like that, including the capital "C" and the lowercase everything else. Please note that there are two newline characters (\n\n) at the end of the header. CGI novices tend to forget that, but it's really important, since the header needs to be followed by a blank line.

Code:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";




Take a careful look at the stuff that replaced the "" characters used to quote the original "Hello, world!\n" line. That <<"EOF"; thing, and the EOF all alone on a line by itself at the end, is being used to quote a multi-line string. Basically, it's being used to indicate what the "print" command should print. This is sometimes called "here-document" quoting; you can call it whatever you want, but it's a real time-saver in CGI scripts.


Code:
print <<"EOF";
<HTML>

<HEAD>
<TITLE>Hello, world!</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<H1>Hello, world!</H1>
</BODY>

</HTML>
EOF

Just upload these 3 files to your CGI-BIN which is localted at /cgi-bin/ and then change their permission to 777 by CHMOD and then execute then like http://yourname.com/cgi-bin/eAuction.pl
