Since I've spent some time on learning how to set it up I will try to explain how to set it up.
First off if you're running a server off your PC and are using it to use apache you MUST download activeperl which can be located at: www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/
If you need Apache it can be downloaded at: httpd.apache.org/
After downloading the two you must configure apache which there is a tutorial in in the Active Perl documentation.
She bang line
In order for a perl or cgi script to actually work you must have a she bang line which is something like:
#!C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe
The she bang line tells where the Perl script intepritator is.
The she bang line is the directory to the intepreter located in your C drive which may need some editing.
