Thank you. At this point, I'm willing to try most anything--and this may be the answer. I've always disliked Windows, and sure don't enjoy trying to get my perl scripts working in a WAMP environment.

But I want my friend to be able to simply access the scripts from his browser. I'm not sure if he's computer literate enough to open up a VM every time he wants to access them. In reading some of Vagrant's introductory materials, I wonder if I am understanding them correctly--as in, it sounds almost too good to be true. Is it really like having the server on your local machine such that, from Windows, you could SSH into the VM and you could access it via HTTP just as if it were an online server?
