in reply to How to Make use of CGI with Perl

Though I like ActivePerl because of its widespread use, and because of the PPM utility for module installation, there is another alternative to ActivePerl which may make sense for you, as a new CGI developer.

IndigoPerl is available at http://www.indigostar.com/indigoperl.htm. IndigoPerl comes with Apache Webserver, and installs Apache as part of the Perl installation process. The result is a system that is pretty easy to develop and test CGI scripts on.

    How about something more recent? Apache Perl comes with Apache webserver (ok, it's just activeperl bundled with apache by the apache folks):

    http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/perl/win32-bin/

    MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Edit by tye, change H1 to H3
