   The above HREF command is part of the Perl script. The helpfiles
say to edit the href command in the Perl script to point to  the  html
file. If by default it's the root, then I figure it might look
something like

<a href=\"$208.33.152.220\guestbook.html">Guestbook</a> 

But I have NO idea of the correct syntax for using in Perl. Does
the above look right? Remember the above is supposed to be
in a Perl script.

   Also if the file resided in the CGI bin, do I add the directory
structure, or will it be found by default of "root", so that all I
need is the filename such as 208.33.152.220\guestbook.pl
for a CGI URL?
