Sure thing. I have a directory mapped to /cgi-bin/ in the Oracle 2.1 setup. In the directory I have two files:

---test.bat---
@echo off
echo text/html
echo Hello

---test.pl---
print "text/html\n\n";
print Hello

The first gives me the expected result, the second gives me: The requested URL was not found.
