Also what helps is having a server system running on your windows machine so you can see your applications run from a browser without having to upload them to a server. Apache has come out with there Apache For Win32. http://www.apache.org/dist/ As far as installing this stuff they are just exe file you double click on and the installation is automated. In addition to this stuff (which is completely optional but helpful) you should probably get a good program editor. Back when I was using Windows I used EditPlus as my editor. You can get it here http://www.editplus.com/ It costs $25 but it is well worth it. Also check out some of these links for learning Perl. Perl Central http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/ This is a the site for CGI.pm which is the defacto standard for programming CGI applications http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/cgi_docs.html Well that should get you started. You should probably pick up a book on Perl so you can learn the proper way to do things. As far as books to learn Perl I recomend Learning Perl published by O'REILLY. Good Luck and Have Fun Scott
