i did the rearch for you here:

===========================================
INSTALL

The installation process for Apache::ASP is geared towards those with experience with Perl, Apache, and unix systems. For those without this experience, please understand that the learning curve can be significant. But what you have at the end will be a web site running on superior open source software.

If installing onto a Windows operating system, please see the section titled Win32 Install.

Win32 / Windows Install


If you are on a Win32 platform, like WinNT or Windows 2000, you can download the win32 binaries linked to from:
http://perl.apache.org/distributions.html

From here, I would recommend the mod_perl binary installation at:
ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/

and install the latest perl-win32-bin-*.exe file.

Randy Kobes has graciously provided these, which include compiled versions perl, mod_perl, apache, mod_ssl, as well as all the modules required by Apache::ASP and Apache::ASP itself.

You may also try the more recent Perl-5.8-win32-bin.exe distribution which is built on Apache 2. This should be treated as BETA release software until mod_perl 2.x is released as stable. Some notes from Randy Kobes about getting this release to work are here:
After installing this distribution, in Apache2\conf\perl.conf
(pulled in via Apache2\conf\httpd.conf) there's directives that
have Apache::ASP handle files placed under the Apache2\asp\
directory. There should be a sample Apache::ASP script there,
printenv.html, accessed as http://127.0.0.1/asp/printenv.html
which, if working, will print out your environment variables.



===========================================
you still need to go there and get the info. above is only a small amount of the information they have download items you be needing sorry i don't know a thing about it, but i hope you find what you need there. says no then at all about Windows Xp Family

let you know that http://127.0.0.1 is a adware address to doubleclick, so run a adware killer of some type after your finish with it. so clear your system of any adware cookies and junk that it may instill into your system, personnaly i block that http://127.0.0.1 totally, i don't need that crap in my system.

127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net

you could probably just install perl and then add the mod_perl to apache...

[SilentTrigger]

Some stuff you have to add/edit in httpd conf file:

AddModule mod_cgi.c
Must be uncomented or added in the conf

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
If you want to be able to access Cgi scripts(perl) from other places then cgi-bin.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Apache/cgi-bin/"
Line that tells apache where the cgi-bin is, change to whaterver correstponds to you.
This is the folder where the scripts are located.

Now your basically done, only one thing left really.

In the .pl or .cgi file you need to edit one line:
#!/usr/local/perl

to

#!c:/place where perl is installed/bin/perl

note that it should be "/" and not"\"

It should now work, tell me if it does not work and what it does (ie error messages etc) and ill try to help you.

Chief ADFP: http://127.0.0.1 is a local IP address for your computer and has nothing to do with adware. Unless you allready have a adware that is triggered by going to that address.

http://127.0.0.1 is the same as http://localhost

Did it work?

I hate cgi, just got Easyphp and used that, makes things alot easier on me.

127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net

like silent said, not ad-aware. EVERYONE has that IP. It's your local IP that never reaches the internet, that is, unless a ad-program has modified your hosts file.

Some people use there hosts file to block ad's, I know I do (yahoo, lycos, sites I run into with lots of them, bad never ending popup sites all forward to 127.0.0.1 so they do not display. Can keep alot of junk off your system.

Open up hosts (There is no ext) and put something like:

127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net and anything from ad.doubleclick.net will not show.

You can also modify your hosts file with an editer, seach download.com for hosts edtier. This will allow you to add sites on the fly, if you ever happen to come across a bad site and don't ever want to stumble across it again. You know, thoes sites with that force active-x install, non-stop popups... you can block them all without running bulky programs in the background to do the job. Windows has it built in.
