Hi everyone, hope you can help. I am trying to use perl with html code to create a sample ecommerce website. This is a college assignment but I would like to be able to test my PERL code on my laptop at home. At college, we can telnet our files to the college server but does anyone know the easiest way to test them from home? all suggestions welcome and appreciated. thanks, matt

The best way would be to go to www.apachefriends.org and download XAMPP. It's apache server and add ons which you can install on your own PC and by using http://localhost in your browser when Apache is running, you have a local server on your machine with which you can test all your web pages. Best thing is that it's all free.
Don't forget to download the perl addon to run perl pages.
Good luck.

You will need PERL aswell (which will be there if you using linux but you will need to download it and install it if not).

Ibbo: I know from scottfree's post it sounds like the add-ons are strictly Apache add-ons. But XAMPP also includes MySQL, PHP, and Perl for the supported operating systems. I haven't checked which version of any of those XAMPP includes though.
