If you're not tied to FreeBSD, jcwren has made his server available to Monks in need.

As an alternative (seeing your "Windows-based" comment in the CB), you can always download ActivePerl and Apache, which should be a close enough development environment not to matter in many cases. (Just remember to strip ^Ms. ;^)

    --k.

To make things simplier (i you choose this route), you can download IndigoPerl. Here is an excerpt from their web page.
