Not sure what you're after, but to run CGI's offline, you can just:

1) Install a Perl distribution (Indigo Perl or Active Perl are simple) 2) Whack Apache on your box (comes as binary for most OS's) - I found the Bindows version simple to install and run. - Just tell it where your perl install is, etc.

It was all so simple I can't really remember exactly and away you go:
'http://localhost/cgi-bin/script.pl' Never look back.

Obviously there are still a few differences between running locally and on a
live webserver, but it's a step closer...

HTH someone, TommyGun.

Way cool. Awesome. I should have looked myself :-) but it only occurred to me as I was answering him. Can't wait to install this sucker; this'll be good.

Thanks! & HAND
