"most WAMP packages do not require installation"

Are you sure? The WAMP (by they way, your post says WAMP yet links to LAMP) states:

"WAMPs are packages of independently-created programs installed on computer"

Perhaps you are right, and most don't require installation, but I'm not convinced "most".

"I'm trying to avoid installing more crap onto my system"

If you think it's crap, why use it? :)

While it may seem daunting at first learn how set up Perl, Apache and MySQl it is a valuable skill. It seriously shouldn't take you long. Also if you are running a stack which is similar (in configuration and version number) to that of your server, it will be easier to track down any known issues or bugs which may be platform specific.

After a quick look at the uniformserver documentation I'm not too impressed. However did you even look at the documentation? The examples provided show a shebang line of #!/usr/bin/perl. Perhaps you are just doing something else wrong.
