That worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello World in my firefox browser appears!!!!!

Wooooooooooooo!Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

At this pt I concede that as a graphics student my photoshop and indesign
skills do not extent to ascii art :) If they did I would draw a guy leaping
in the air like those car ads:

"What a feeling! Perl!"

Thanks to everyone who helped! In particular Ben Hare should get a
bookprize/book voucher or something from perlmongers.

What this now enables me to do that is fantastic is to go through the rest
of the perl tutes on vtc, read books etc BEING ABLE TO SEE THE END RESULT :
that juicy message in the browser.

To make everyone shudder I know so little about computers that it is not
funny. I am certainly the most computer illiterate person to have ever got
apache etc to work with perl.

What a feeling! Perl! 

hee hee

hey mate,

for now, don't worry about modules, get up and running:

change your code to this:

---

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

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

print  "Hello World!\n";

__END__

---

there you go.. you can learn about modules later :)

Ben.
