"...what is the best method for getting
Perl up and running on WinXP box that will allow me to then upload to my
webspace on the Linux box?"  --Anthoni

Hi Anthoni,

I would recommend ActiveState ActivePerl installation.  It installs well on Windows.  
It also ignores the comment line that Unix uses to find the Perl executable, so there 
should be no conflict here.  It generally reads files transparently to CRLF/LF 
distinctions, so you can have most of your script and support files LF-terminated, and 
still run on Windows.  Programmers File Editor [you can quickly find it through any 
search engine] can be configured to use the Unix convention when it saves your files.

For the most part, you should be able to write and test locally [you will have to 
configure IIS for the perl extensions to test if you use IIS], then FTP your files and 
run them on your server.

Joseph
