How to run a basic Perl script?

I am on a shared host that uses cPanel. My aim is to use ExifTool, which can be installed from cPanel. But with not too much knowledge about Perl I am stuck. What I managed so far: I did a test.pl and put that into cgi-bin - and it worked fine! [CODE=perl]#!/usr/bin/perl -w print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"; print "hello world";
Multible tries with #!/usr/bin/exiftool so far failed. So how do I run a Perl module, or better, a Perl module in a PHP environment?

  Try perl -T #!/usr/bin/perl -T use 5.010; use CGI; use strict; use warnings; my $q = CGI->new(); say $q->header(), $q->start_html(); my $file = '../_new.jpg'; $file = '../DSC4883.jpg'; use Image::ExifTool qw(:Public); my $exifTool = new Image::ExifTool;

  You might get some helpful information from the multitude of perl tutorials out there as well:
