in reply to Sub-initiate needs help getting started

I think you might want to try to setup a web server on your local client. So you can edit the code using your favorite editor on windows and test it at once.
I assume the unix box uses Apache as a web server. So go to apache.org, download the relevant version (either 1.x or 2.x, depending on what's installed on the unix box), and install it on your windows box.
If you have questions about this, a search on the web ("install apache and perl on windows") should give you plenty of help.

Don't panic!
