      Now I have got this error message in the last 3 attempts:

       Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your
request.

Error message:
Premature end of script headers: hello88.cgi

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 500

I tried these 3 versions: 

#!"C:\xampp\perl\bin\perl.exe" -w

use CGI;

print  "Hello World!";

*************

and varying the last line with CGI-> header or CGI->headers or whatever it
was that was suggested. 

Try changing this line:
 
print CGI->headers(), "Hello";

To 

print CGI->header(), "Hello";

 
(ie drop the 's' off the word 'headers').
******

That was it.

All three attempts made the error message above.
