Boy, it's great getting a simple question with a simple answer. ;-) Your question is very general. There's a ton of information in the area, so it's more a matter of sifting through it. The obvious place to start for Apache would be http://apache.org, and for mod_perl, http://perl.apache.org. Of course, a visit to O'Reilly couldn't hurt. Two particularly useful books in my experience are, "Apache, the definitive guide", and "Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C", both from O'Reilly. Beyond that, you'll have to be more specific with what you mean by "I wish to use perl on the web".	[reply]

AFAIK its simply a matter of installing a standard Apache distro, get mod_perl to work and add some Alias and/or ScriptAlias(es). This will simply cover your Perl-question.(but not the security tweaking and all other stuff ofcourse. Therefore you will need the books as mentioned earlier) Rgds, John	[reply]

--- Michael Stepanov aka nite_man It's only my opinion and it doesn't have pretensions of absoluteness! Have a look the most popular tools to embedded Perl into HTML page: Mason Embperl Template Toolkit because if you are planning to develop complicated web application it's better to use some of those tools than useing CGI.
