Greetings Baz,

I use a combination of two tools. First, install ActiveState's Perl for Windows. (I know this sounds obvious, sorry. Just covering all the bases.) Then check out Xitami, a cute little HTTP server for your PC. Why did I pick Xitami over Apache? Well, when I'm playing with CGIs on my local system, I'm typically building personal stuff. I don't need the raw power and coolness of Apache. Xitami is an "install and forget" sort of Web server. It handles CGI nicely as well as aliasing and other stuff. I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than a development "play" server, though.
