It doesn't operate with W95. They have no code in common, except what M$ may have secretly borrowed over the years. So... Forget Windoze. Install FreeBSD (perl comes with it, as does an apache package). See www.freebsd.org for full details. Besides installation information, theres a tutorial under the "documents" link for M$ people starting in Unix. Dave -- DISCLAIMER: If it can be disclaimed, it is.
