What exactly does that mean? You can't install IIS? If that's what you're
asking about download an apache server and set it up to run your Perl
scripts.

I'm sure it can. You probably need to install Perl. Get it from
ActiveState - http://www.activestate.com/.
But switching to Linux is a _much_ better idea :)

| WinXP Home edition does not come with a webserver as far as I know. I
definitely know that XP Home edition does not come with IIS.

What are you talking about?
Not that this has anything to do with Perl (or perl) but Linux runs happily
on a 486 with 16MB of RAM.
Or are you trying to troll?

So does DOS. If you want to run the latest red hat with either kde or gnome
you need at least 128MB of RAM and a better processor than a 486. But this
has nothing to do with Perl and I'd still take Linux over DOS...

Thats right but if you download apache and install that IT can run the perl
for you.
XP home doesn't come with a server which is a blessing cause apache is much
better than IIS anyways. Just install that then go to activestate and get
perl.

First you don't believe in trolling, but then you don't know what it means.
Sounds like you're taking another stab at it.
I'll assume you aren't much of a fisher, and suggest that you read up on the
practice. In effect, you drop your line (or net, for commercial fishers) out
of the back of the boat and just let it run along behind you in the hopes of
catching something. Trolling on usenet is posting deliberate misinformation
in the hopes of "catching" others unaware and causing pointless arguments.
Saying that your computer is too slow to run Linux but claiming you're
running XP is such an example. Linux is not the resource hog that XP is, so
you're either uninformed, not giving the full story, or deliberately trying
to provoke a reaction.
Top posting is also scorned, so please stop doing it (i.e., when you post a
couple of lines of a response above an entire thread, as you keep doing).

thanks you so much for explaining that to. I was not lying about Linux.
when I went to school for computers we I brought a computer in to put Linux
on it. It could not run Linux for some reason. I post on top because I
find it easy to understand. is this better that I post on the bottom.
excuse me please for trying to get advice for the people who has experience
in the field that I am learning. all I know is I explained my experience.
all I have for you is the truth. I am not and do any harm I am NOT that
kind of person., I just want advice. one computer tech to another. if you
understand that.

That's ridiculous. Linux runs on far lower specced machines that Windows
XP does.
And please stop top-posting.

Thanks Dave. I'll try for this group. I know I am a bit redunent but this
is the first group that I know the posts the opposite. I may be a drive
issue as matt said. but I'm looking at a newer computer than what I had
used to try and run Linux. It has windows 95 on it but I'm going to back
that up and try Linux so maybe I can run perl and web design better.

This group is a bit more complex than the other one. Thanks Matt for the
information about the group. I'll do my best to make it understandable for
everyone else. as you explained it made me feel better.
