I want to run my Perl scripts while offline... Can I do that? I have Apache and Perl both installed and working but I need to run my Perl scripts while im offline.
Well setup a script . If your not sure of the path to perl on your machine goto http://www.e-scripts.com and download there freeware path finder. And then get on with making or customising your scripts .
I end up with the perl source code. I changed the path to perl to C:\Perl\Bin\Perl.exe (thats what it is) and I'm using http://localhost/scriptname.cgi and I get the code. Is there anything I need to configure in apache?
Nope. It should automatically configure its self but if it does say something needs changing pots whatever is needed and i'll try help you sort it out .
If you want things to work "out-of-box", try IndigoPerl. IndigoPerl is a binary build of Perl 5.6 for Win32 with an integrated Apache webserver for testing and developing CGI scripts. It also includes a browser based GUI Package Manager for installing pre-built binary packages from repositories. The package manager can also be used to build and install CPAN source modules.
Best of all, it has DBI modules compiled so you can integrate with mysql (if you have it installed).
