[MacPerl-WebCGI] CGI how?

[james@djassociates.com (James Fox)]

Hi,
NOVICE ALERT !

I am trying to learn about CGI scrips. (but know nothing as yet)

I have this file which is written in perl called formmail.pl 
(downloaded from http://worldwidemart.com/scripts/cgi-
bin/download.cgi  ) and I want to use it with a form on my webpage 
(to validate the form etc.)

How the hell do I go about it?
How do I execute them from a web browser?
How can I use chmod 755 ?
and where is the so called  Unix command line?
Step by step instructions for stupid people are appreciated, 
preferably explaining how it works too.  cheers.
