Execute Perl within HTML

[GJaggi]

I am a novice programmer in Perl. I downloaded Samba server, ActivePerl from ActiveState, and am trying to make a webpage (using just HTML) which will contain a textarea and a submit button.

I want a user to go to that page, enter their Perl code in the textarea and click on Submit button. I want to execute that code and display the result back in an HTML page.

If you could guide me as how to proceed, it will be a good start for me to work in Perl on windows.

Thank you for your time and patience.

Sincerely,
GJaggi

The CGI program you have the form going to will have to eval() the value of that textarea.
