Hello everyone, I'm new here. I'm currently developing a web application
written in Perl. I am doing the local testing on a Windows 98 machine using
the Activestate release of Perl 5.8.8 and the online testing on a Linux host.
However, it would be convinient if I could run a web server application on
Windows and do my local testing on that. I've heard that there is a scaled
down version of IIS called PWS that is included on the Windows 98 disk and
that it supports ASP. What I need to ask is:

1. Is there somwhere I can find information about how to connect the Perl
interpreter to the ASP engine of PWS, so I can run my Perl code embedded in
ASP pages?

2. Do Microsoft provide a download of the version of PWS designed for
Windows 98, because I've lost the install disk?

Any help appriciated.
Steven.

Even if you could get it setup with PWS I suspect it's too old to do any
useful developing on, PWS is built on IIS4.0 and have not been updated.

Windows XP Pro contains IIS5.1 on the cd.

As KL said, I wouldn't bother trying to run Perl under PWS. Might be better
to download apache and use that as your local webserver instead:
http://httpd.apache.org/
