Melissa, You can ignore the unclean shutdown message - it just means Apache wasn't stopped gracefully via the command to stop it. On windows, I always do ctrl-c to stop it. For production, you will probably install it as a service and use the services controller(in Administrative Tools of Control Panel) to start & stop it.
As far as "typing somthing in", you don't. Apache has no user interface, it just sits there "listening" for someone to talk http protocol to it. You control how Apache operates by putting "Directives" in its configuration files (in the conf directory under the Apache directory). Apache is running when it doesn't kick you back to the command prompt. When Apache is running you can enter http:// folowed by the ip address of the machine and you should get a web page back. Haven't heard of IndigoPerl, but it sounds like they have built (with a compiler from the source files) Apache and perl and put them in a zip to make things easier. Read their stuff (http://www.indigostar.com/indigoperl.htm) and look at their site to find out about configuring the server. Also see apache.org and perl.com for more information.

I started the Apache server and it says at the top of it [warn] pid file c:/unzipped/indigoperl5-6/logs/gttpd.pid overwritten -- unclean shutdown of previous Apache run? Apache/1.3.20 (Win32) mod_perl1.25 running... but when I try to type something it doesn't respond. Should I uninstall the program and reinstall it and unzip it differently? What does the unclean shut down mean? Thanks a bunch, wickham26 Do You Yahoo!? Sign-up for Video Highlights of 2002 FIFA World Cup
