in reply to Perl & Personal Web Server

In addition to pws and apache, another good web server (in my opinon) on windows machines is tiny web (free). In order to get the web server up and running and working with perl, unzip the exe's, make a root html directory (c:\mywebroot) and cgi-bin directory under root(C:\mywebroot\cgi-bin\), dump the .pl files in to the cgi-bin directory(C:\mywebroot\cgi-bin\hello.pl), create a index.html in the root directory (C:\mywebroot\index.html)and type at the command line tiny c:\mywebroot\ (port) and you're off and running until you restart your computer. Works on 95,98,nt. (I assume me but I haven't tried it.)
