running perl in your own pc
I don't use my own pc run perl for years

Is there any latest developed package(means auto install and config set up is not required) that can do the job.

My pc is xp

thanks ...

Try ActivePerl from ActiveState: http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/

I know active perl...but you have install apache beforehand and made some config....

not so handy... As I can remember there is a package(fox**) that can excute installation for you and you don't have to modify anything...

Sorry about that. When you asked for Perl, I thought you meant Perl :)

Try this: http://perl.apache.org/...#All_in_one_packages

I think you might be looking for FoxServe? I think they stopped packaging that up a while back. I could be mistaken though. I usually install all the packages separately myself so I haven't looked into it for a while now.

Hi golden_water,

After unpacking the file you will end up with a perl directory and an apache directory. In the perl directory you will find an install.txt file. Make sure you read through that a few times. Other than that, I cant tell you much else as I don't use that binary.

What happened to FoxServe? That would be a little easier to install I would imagine.
