[MacPerl-WebCGI] Can't even get Hello World to work

Hi:

Okay, I'm stuck trying to get the simplest cgi to run, maybe someone can help.

The demo of the problem is located at:

      http://www.sperling.com/hello.html

The html code (at the above location) is as follows:

	<html>
	<head>
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
	<title>Test to see if hello cgi works</title>
	</head>
	<body bgcolor="white">
	<center>
	***
	<h3>Hello.cgi  Example</h3>
	<!--#exec cgi="hello.cgi"-->
	***
	<h3>Hello.cgi in cgi-bin Example</h3>
	<!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/hello.cgi"-->
	***
	</center>
	</body>
	</html>

The cgi code (at the above location) is as follows:

	#!/usr/bin/perl
	print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
	print "Hello";

The permissions are set correctly (actually at 777) and perl is where 
it's supposed to be, however, when I call the "hello.html" ( i.e., 
http://www.sperling.com/hello.html) via my browser, the cgi scripts 
referenced (i.e., hello.cgi and cgi-bin/hello.cgi) by the html 
document don'tt run -- why?  There is something that I'm not getting 
here and this real simple example illustrates it.

I have read everything I can lay my hands on, but the solution evades me.

Many thanks for any help or suggestions anyone may make.
