MacPerl 5.20r4 offers the built-in capability of creating a small cgi application that runs on the Mac even under Apple's built-in websharing control-panel environment, provided the script and necessary processing are small.. (larger needs overrun the basic limits, and would be better served with a more robust solution anyway. :) then you simply point localhost at it with http://127.0.0.1/cgi-scripts/your.cgi I sometimes use this for testing basic stuff with until I start hitting the memory limitations due to my needs. I haven't bothered setting up a full webserver package since I have a shell readily available for testing these with. (and will soon have a redhat unix box of my own set up for this specific purpose...banging on my scripts until I'm sure they stand on their own and don't beat up the server. :) You could install a webserver on your windows box. You could dual-boot unix and run your own server that way. Lots of options. Lots of initial configuration overhead too, but once you get that out of the way, you're off and running. print pack "H*", "4a75737420416e6f74686572204d61635065726c204861636b65722c0d"; -- Scott R.
