Maybe use SEARCH?

You need Perl (from Activestate (http://www.activestate.com))
And a webserver, such as Apache (http://httpd.apache.org)

On this forum should be enough information on how to install/run it. If you still can't get it to work, ask again ;)

You can also download a perl developers ide.

Open Perl IDE 1.0 <-- Free
http://open-perl-ide.sourceforge.net/

Perl Builder 2.0 <-- Not free (trial version available)http://www.solutionsoft.com/

You can search and find others too.

Unless you are runing a nix box (unix/linux etc),
be sure to download the Apache Server version for Windows.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/windows.html

If you just want to develop and test scripts then you don't have
to get the apache server.
Just the developers ide, and perl.

However, if you want to test an entire website on your
own pc, then Apache Server is the way to go.
