I'm trying to decide between installing Oddmuse on a Windows system with Apache or running a simpler Perl-only wiki server. Can you tell me the key software needed and how to test the Windows setup? Also, for the Perl-only server, what's its main advantage and how do I start it?
Navigate to the 'Site Map' page. Locate and click on the 'Setup on a Windows System' link. Identify the recommended software (Perl and Apache) and key installation considerations, including testing URLs. Return to the 'Site Map' page. Locate and click on the 'Run a Perl Only Wiki Server' link. Identify the recommended framework/approach for a Perl-only server, its primary benefits, and its general invocation command.
State that for Windows setup, Apache (MSI from http://httpd.apache.org/) and ActivePerl (from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/) are recommended. Mention testing Apache at http://localhost/ and Perl at http://localhost/cgi-bin/printenv.pl for the Windows setup. State that the recommended framework for a Perl-only wiki server is HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI. Explain that running a Perl-only server avoids the overhead of new processes for every request (common with CGI scripts). Provide the general invocation command for the Perl-only server (e.g., `perl server.pl /path/to/wiki.pl [port] [/path/to/data] &`).
