Terminal executes the script. Terminal can't render HTML. Web
browser can only render HTML, it can't execute scripts.
You need to have a web server setup and configured to execute CGI
scripts/mod_perl for that. How to do that will probably be beyond a
single message, but OS X includes Apache which is the de-facto
standard for web servers.
Or you can use command redirection to test, e.g.:
perl myscript.pl > /tmp/file.html && open /tmp/file.html
