Localhost/Webserver software and perl/cgi advice
|
Can't Post
|
|
Hi,
I need advice on setting up and running a webserver on my computer so that I can test Perl/cgi scripts using http://localhost before I upload them to our main website hosted elsewhere.
I’ve tried Savant 2.1, but not even the test scripts that came with it will run (the .pl one) although the .exe runs fine.
I’ve tried Apache, but I was unable to install ActivePerl, despite following instructions very carefully.
I’ve gone as far as my experience/skills will take me (I’m not a programmer, I just use scripts from the web, cutting/pasting and editing when I think I understand what I want!)
I’ve successfully built my own site, and I run scripts from it with no problems (Hamweather).
Can anyone suggest a webserver program that I could try, that comes with Perl?
Or, how to install Perl into Apache?
How do I set CHMOD attributes locally – maybe that’s why Savant won’t work?
Please send advice, I’ve spent the last week on it and I’ve got nowhere!
Thanking anyone in advance for any words of wisdom.
