Easy. Treat your CGI programs like you would build an app in lower-level languages like C - use a Makefile!

Basically, all you need to do is to create Makefile entries for:

• testing your program (locally) (target test)
• debugging your program (target debug)
• uploading your program to the Linux server and running an LWP script to test your program on the Linux server (target publish)

Then you just write your script, add it to the Makefile file entries, and say:

make test
[download]

If all is OK, you say:

make publish
[download]

Else you just say:

make debug
[download]

Ah, you are on Windows. Of course then you use "nmake" instead of "make".
