Thanks for the links on perl, I will read up and learn how to configure Apache2 with perl support. I am a windows guy and am only now learning linux. It's fun and I see why linux is much more secure than windows. It is however, very different to get things done in, windows being all plug and play and linux being very configuration file driven and compiling things rather than installing with exe files.
Totally depends on your distribution. On most distributions you don't need to compile or configure anything to get something like perl installed. Most distributions have it installed by default by the way, but otherwise for instance on a Red Hat-style system installing mod_perl is as simple as running 'yum install mod_perl'. Now, try that in Windows (GUI login, find site, find download, execute installer, click Continue/Next a couple of times, delete installer, etc.). Get to know your distributions package manager and you'll learn to love it. I do agree that it's different though. Give it a little time, I never looked back.
