generate html on the fly

I need a simple script so when you type html code into a form and submit it, it comes back to the browser window as an html document. Cheers!

A little more information would be handy here; Are you just going to be passing snippets of html or whole html documents? this could be really simple such as

#!/usr/bin/perl
#Forgive me please ppl i am not a cgi guru just using this to illustra
+te a point
GetFormInput();
my $html = $field{html);
print "$html";

if you are passing a whole html document with complete headers and stuff. If it is just going to be snippets of html you had better brush up on CGI.PM (this is a link to Ovid's Tutorial).

Do your own homework.

Do you think you could have made even the slightest effort before posting such a request here?

If you had said "This is my problem, can anyone point me in the right direction?" or "I have this code but I can't figure out why it isn't working" you would more than likely get more than a few helpful responses, but if you expect people to do your work without you making so much as an effort, you're whacked in my opinion.

Update
To clarify what I meant by "homework", any effort to figure out the problem or even contemplate an approach to solving it. To me this post says "Write me a script"

my $CGI = new CGI;

print $CGI->header();

if (my $html = $CGI->param('html')) {
    print $html;
}
else {
    print $CGI->start_html('title'), $CGI->start_form,
    $CGI->textarea(-name=>'html',-rows=>10,-columns=>50),
    $CGI->submit,$CGI->end_form, $CGI->hr, $CGI->end_html;
}
