Dear Monks, I have been scouring the web in search of an answer, and now I come to your perly gates. I have a perl datbase script that takes input from a html form, manipulates a text file and spits the results out to another html page on demand. All's working fine on the server. I have been asked to demonstrate the database to my peers. But there are two problems: 1. I will not have web access during the presentation. 2. I am restricted to laptops running NT. I have tried to install indigoperl, but the apache service will not start (restricted?). Activeperl will not install either. Give to me straight: Is it possible to create a folder tree containing the basic perl elements to run such a script? I would like to put this onto a cd, with database, so that my colleagues can run it on their (also restricted) laptops without further configuration. We're talking the barest essentials. No messing with the registry, etc. Hope someone can shower me with their abundant knowledge. Cheers, Ja
