Just install Perl and it should be fine. Check your webserver, file associations etc and look to see if .pl .cgi and so on are being passed to the Perl Excutable.

I haven't use helm before. But the above should take care of it.

Go to your internet browser and try http://localhost/path.to.cgi-bin/cgifile.cgi and see what happens.

The problem is that if i type localhost i get inetpub folder and my account are in a other folder, so i can run it only with www.domainname.com

ok. If your server is online, type www.domainname.com/path.to.cgi/cgiscript.cgi and see what it says .
