I don't have that book on hand so I can't test the script in question (if it's short, perhaps you could post it). I can confirm that I have Apache+Mod_Perl+DBI+MySQL working on winXP. I downloaded BigApache which includes all of those elements compiled for winXP so the one install gets you all of them (and also Tomcat and PHP and other things unless you tell the installer you don't want them). If you are interested in BigApache, it will install new versions of apache, mod_perl, perl, and MySQL so if you have existing versions of those, you should probably remove them before install BigApache.
