What would cause Opera to only display the HTML code created by a Perl Script but not actually execute it?

If the content-type header is sent as text/plain and not text/html ...

Make sure your Perl script prints the appropriate header. I always use a fairly standard bit of reusable code within the Perl script:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<HTML>\n";
print "<HEAD>\n";

That first line is critical. And don't forget the two carriage-returns at the end of it!
