What has been said already, but a few comments: You can use
Dreamweaver or some other editor to create the initial webpage with form where the user's data is entered. The form should call your cgi script using the form "action". If you don't actually need to recreate the original page you could just have your script print out the results between <pre> </pre> tags. (This will appear on a new page. You also need the opening and closing html tags, but no other tags.)
(Getting your script in the right place with the right permissions executable by a web user and a page which is writable by the script to hold the results is part of the problem but separate from the perl programming part.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
