This article will explain in detail how to install and configure Perl. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you for reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Installation and configuration of Perl

At the beginning, let's talk about the installation of Perl and the setup of HTTP server. Here we discuss the installation and configuration of Perl in WINDOWS environment. If you are using Perl under Linux or Unix system, it is not included in this article.

First of all, we need to get a perl interpreter, which we can find in the software download of Honne online-computer Park. Search for "perl" and we can find something called ActivePerl5.6.0Build613ForWin. The size is about eight trillion. Download it. This is a msi file, which probably means microsoftinstall. In short, it can be installed directly under windows2k. If you are using a WIN95/98 system, you also need to download something InstMsi.exe, which we can run before we can run the msi file, which means it must be run before the Perl installation. There is nothing to say about installation. When you're done with it, it's over. It should be installed under the c:\ perl directory by default. Don't tell me you don't have permission to install files, hehe.

Let's go to the c:\ perl directory to have a look. Below, there is a very important directory called bin, and the babies are all here. Well, go over it this way. First click the start menu and select run. Type cmd and enter enter. At this point we can see a console window. From this window, enter c: enter, then enter cdperl, and enter dir. He he. I also created a file called ls.bat in my directory. The content is dir. He he. Then cdbin and then we can see a file called Perl.exe. Well, that's no problem. Then let's try to weave a Mini Program.

Enter the following with a text editor:

#! C:\ perl\ bin\ perl-w

Usestrict

{

Print "helloperlworld,thisismyfirst!\ n"

}

Save to myfirst.pl any directory you can find is easy to find, then type: perlmyfirst.pl in the console window and you can see "helloperlworld,thisismyfirst!" printed in the window. This sentence. This indicates that the installation was successful.

In order to write and debug CGI programs, we also need to install a HTTP server software that simulates the server environment on the WINDOWS platform. Generally, we will choose SambarServer or ApacheServer (available in Hong's software download), of course, you can also choose Microsoft PersonalWebServer. All of them are easy to install. Let's take ApacheServer as an example:

First of all, go to http://www.hongen.com/pc/softdown/index.htm to query apache, you can find a lot, we will have the apache1.3.12 of *. About three trillion. It's okay. And then find something called ApacheManager2.02forWindows to pawn it together. About dozens of k. Right under the apache. Probably just scroll down one screen.

After downloading, it was found to be an exe file. Run it and install it. You will be told during installation, apacheforwindowsisstillatbetastatus!. But I can't help it. Pretend! After selecting the path, the installation begins. It took about 5 seconds to install on my computer. Then an unimportant illustrative document appears. Turn it off! An apcheserver option appears in the start menu, with a startapache, a stopapache, an installapacheasservice, a... Well, not anyway. What we are going to install next is apmgr, which is ApacheManager2.02forWindows. Extract this file to the directory where apache is located, and note that it is not bin, but a directory with colored feathers. Then you can see two colored feathers. Then create a shortcut for apmgr. Put it on the quick launch bar. It's the right thing to do.

Run apmgr to see a gray feather in the tray in the lower right corner. Double-click with the mouse and see the feather turn into color. OK, open the browser and enter your own ip to see what happens. What? No ip? Then type http://127.0.0.1/ and this is your own ip. Give it a try. What do you see? A page with colored feathers below? All right, apache has been installed. It's actually easier than installing word. As for why you have to use apmgr, just try the startapache menu for yourself. In addition, friends can also install apache as win2k's service. Do whatever you want.

The installation of SambarServer is easier, after running the installer. Type the IP or hostname of your host or "http://127.0.0.1/"" in the browser, and the SambarServer page will appear, indicating that the installation is successful.

Perl itself does not have an editor, it does not have the editing and compilation environment like other languages, we can choose any kind of text editor to write Perl programs. Like EditPlus, UtraEdit, NotePad are OK, there are also specially made editors for debugging Perl programs, such as PerlEdit, their interface is intuitive, some with Perl syntax check, you can directly Run without having to type the command line every time you run, you can find it and give it a try.
