Hi Peepz,

I bought a Compaq Notebook couple days ago to learn PERL and C/C++ and im wondering is it possible to

Run a perl script on my desktop while im developing it so I don't have to upload it to the server etc. Anyone know how to do that?

you could try phptriad (http://www.phpgeek.com).. i have it running on my winXP box without any problems.. i use it mainly to check my perl and php scripts that use mysql backend, it has become my best friend over the past months. :cartman:

Its a bad time not to have DSL at the moment :(

10 MB :(

Anyways, hey dahlia,

with phptriad, how is it like? Do I have to load up the program in order for the scripts to work or do i simply do a double click ? :)

all you have to do is have apache running.. which i have setup to startup with windows. :D
you have to save your cgi scripts to C:\apache\cgi-bin and then to run the script you use the url - http://localhost/cgi-bin/scriptname.cgi
you can have your php scripts in the htdocs folder and then call it up with http://localhost/scriptname.php
it comes with mysql too, and phpmyadmin.. its a great program, maybe leave it downloading overnight tonight while you're sleeping. :sleeping:

I can vouch for phpTriad - although Im a little hard core now and prefare to install each thing (apache,php,mysql) by itself ;)

PHPGEEK not accessible :(
