Since you mention "perl cgi" in the subject line, I'm going to assume you mean:

"Cause a Java Applet running in a web browser to cause a web server to run a Perl program using a CGI interface."

... in which case, Perl has very little to do with it. Assuming the server is configured correctly to run the CGI, all you have to do is cause the Applet to issue an HTTP request to the server.

That requires you to write Java code, unless the Applet is already capable of making such requests.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
