The PerlVirtualShow.pl sample is meant for command line output. You can't put a command line app behind a web server and have it serve the content to a browser request. In order to do so, you must add the appropriate CGI support code to the script and ensure that your virtual directory configuration in your web server that contains the cgi script is configured for CGI. Do a web search on "Perl CGI" and you'll find a bunch of example on how to add the appropriate CGI headers so that the web server will know how to interpret the output and pass it back to the client.

 

 

If you absolutely can't get anything working after searching the web, post back here and I'll see if I can help you out.
