CGI programming in Perl

This is a tutorial about how to run Perl CGI scripts with the Apache server on Win95/98. Remember our purpose is to install and configure these so the Windows environment mimics that of the Unix/Linux host computer, which is where your web pages are hosted; this way we won't have to re-edit scripts when we upload them.
This page deals with CGI programming in Perl. If you don't know Perl, you would be best to go to the tutorial on this site, or find another tutorial, so you know the basics of Perl programming.
In order to run scripts you will need a web server running on your computer. The following information explains how to configure a web server and Perl on a Win32 computer in order to run CGI scripts. If you want information on setting up the same things on Unix/Linux there is a lot of information on the web, so I haven't written my own page about it.
