Respected Monks,

Kindly suggest a module that I can use to create CGI/Apache Perl Scripts.

I am planning to create scripts that will pull information from a few SAN Storage Arrays and display it in a webpage. The script will be running on a Win 2003 32 Bit Server. There are chances that I could get access to a Linux Box (Redhat 5.8) from which I can run the scripts as well, so will have to create the scripts accordingly.

Before trying out anything on the office servers, I am planning to play around with it on my personal laptop, but it runs on Ubuntu 12.04. Should I install CentOS/Scientific Linux on my laptop and then try Apache or no need to do so? Because from what I have seen so far, there is a vast difference between the two Linux Versions.

I will be extremely thankful if someone could answer the questions.
