In my defense I did my best to search the ActiveState CGI and Win32 archives to get an answer to my question, but with no definitive answer to my question.
My experience: Been reading Learning Perl for Win32 users for a couple weeks. Lessons going well. Have a lot of HTML experience, some programming language experience so that I understand loops, etc. To the Point (the question): If I install ActiveState Perl onto a non-internet connected computer, can I create an HTML file (client side) that has a form that submits to a CGI file (client side - same computer) and uses that data to create some MS word documents from some templates? The short answer would seem to be no, I need a server on there, such as FrontPage or Apache, which is a bit more in depth and requires more computer resources than I want to commit. However, if you can't do this how do you debug a CGI script before putting it on the server side. My goal is to get an easy to use interface for my father-in-law's business to auto generate some contracts and maintain a mailing list and Perl seems a great way to do it. However, I know that his people won't like using the console window to input stuff. Otherwise this would be pretty easy I think. Thanks in advance for your advice and help.
