Perl script- unix filesystem

[pgmr12]

I am new to cgi and perl.
I am trying to write a cgi script in perl to find information about the unix filesystem. this script should run when a link is clicked from an HTML page and should show the result on the webpage.
Any help would be greatly apreciated,
Thanks in advance.

if your server is configured to run cgi scripts in lets say

http://www/my/path/to/cgi-bin/

and your script is named 'my_cgi.pl' or 'my_cgi.cgi'

then a simple link will do

<a href="/my/path/to/cgi-bin/my_cgi.pl">My CGI Script</a>

Now i dont think many of us understood, what exactly is that you want to do.
What is it that your cgi script should do? [red]In detail[/red]

And what exactly is your problem :

you can't link the 'link' to your cgi?
your cgi script does run?
your cgi script doesn't do what it was expected?
you don't know how to write your script, to do what you want?
and what do you want it to do?

Do you see how many unaswered questions you left when you made the post?
