Q:
i just want to make a form and send the information to a text file, but no
online. I would like to be able to do this just on my computer. I was
wondering if that is possible. What i mean is taking the information from
the form and putting it in a text file, but just on my harddrive, no
online.
Thanks
A:
Step#1: If you have an Ethernet card then it is ok. If not then you have
to install a Microsoft loopback adapter driver, that emulates a network
card that is attached to a network where your computer is the only one.
Step#2: Having some network adapter installed install the TCP/IP network.
Step#3: Install Personal Web Server (PWS).
Step#4: Install ActiveState Perl on top of PWS.
Start the browser and test your scripts. The URL is going to be
http://127.0.0.1/scripts/hello.pl or something like that.
Well, I assumed that you have some Windows. If you have Linux the story
may be quite different.

Peter
