I am currently committed to helping a bunch of math profs learn perl, because they are using a program called WebWorks, which is perl based.

I looked at web-works, and it is a web-based tool that requires apache/mod_perl etc. to work.

However...

I was hoping to just install the perl, so that I can play around with the perl classes without having to worry about web-servers etc (and to minimize space on my home computer).

Has anyone done this? Any advice?
