∟Integrating Perl with Apache Web Server

∟Downloading Apache 2.2.14 Binary for Windows

This section describes how to download Apache 2.2.14 binary distribution for Windows.

In order to serve Perl scripts as Web pages, you need to have a Web server running and integrated with the Perl engine. The most popular Web server today is Apache (HTTP Server). Here is what I did to download Apache 2.2.14 binary distribution for Windows:

1. Go to Apache HTTP Server Web site.

2. Go to the "Apache 2.2.14 Released" section and click the "Download" link. You will see the Apache download page with a pre-selected download mirror Web site. I used the mirror site: http://apache.cs.utah.edu.

3. Go to the "Apache HTTP Server 2.2.14 is the best available version" section.

4. Locate the line "Win32 Binary without crypto (no mod_ssl) (MSI Installer)". Click "apache_2.2.14-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi" from the list to start download.

5. Save the downloaded file, apache_2.2.14-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi, 5,364,620 bytes, in a temporary directory.

See the next section on how to install Apache Windows version.
