jeez, can't you figure out what that means? it means you can't find the
server. duh! it has nothing to do with perl, nothing to do with the cgi,
nothing to do with the server code, nothing to do with your browser.

it probably means you TYPED in the WRONG hostname. but you couldn't have
figured that out from that error message, could you?

No, Uri, this is Windoze. IE generates the above standard error
whenever any of a large number of possible things goes wrong a bit like
some old BASIC interpreters used to say "Syntax error" even when the
syntax was fine just because they couldn't be bothered to produce a more
helpful error message.
