What's the Perl equivalent for the following PHP calls?
$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]
$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]
Any help would be much appreciated.

Another way, than variable environement, is to use CGI :
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI ;
print CGI->new->url();
Moreover, it also offers a lot of CGI manipulation such as accessing params send to your cgi, cookies etc...

Environment variables are a series of hidden values that the web server sends to every CGI you run. Your CGI can parse them and use the data they send. Environment variables are stored in a hash called %ENV.
For example, $ENV{'HTTP_HOST'} will give the hostname of your server.
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print <<EndOfHTML;
<html><head><title>Print Environment</title></head>
<body>
EndOfHTML
foreach my $key (sort(keys %ENV)) {
print "$key = $ENV{$key}<br>\n";
}
print "</body></html>";

Or you can do this and use the variable $page_url.
my $page_url = 'http';
$page_url.='s' if $ENV{HTTPS};
$page_url.='://';
if($ENV{SERVER_PORT}!=80)
{
$page_url.="$ENV{SERVER_NAME}:$ENV{SERVER_PORT}$ENV{REQUEST_URI}";
}
else
{
$page_url.=$ENV{SERVER_NAME}.$ENV{REQUEST_URI};
}
