You need to install a webserver on your computer.. use IIS, PWS, or even Apache for Win32..
Next, write a HTML form as so..
<form action="launcher.pl" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="sub" value="Run this!">
</form>
on your page..
Inside your launcher.pl CGI script (yes, you've writen a CGI script now), execute the Perl script that you want using exec or system or backticks like so..
#!c:/perl/bin -w
use strict;
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
my $path_to_program = "c:/perl/myprog/prog.pl";
my $return_value = system("c:/perl/bin/perl.exe",$path_to_program);
# this is the actual execution of the script.
# now you can put a message to the user
print $q->header; # send correct header, text/html
# put HTML here
It might be best if you restrict access to this script to ONLY your machine.. HTH

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).
