Please recommend me a portable server, mysql, perl?getco - January 24, 2010 - 6:28am
Hello! I really need a portable and preferably compact server, Perl and possibly a mysql client. I'm no techie, I just need to run some Perl/CGI scripts on my PC (some of them use mysql so I guess I'll need that as well). Now I've looked over XAMPP but it's quite huge and seems to contain all kinds of features I don't really need. So any recommendations for something smaller would be really welcomed! Thank you! PS. I'm on Win 7, 64bit if that is of any importance. ( categories: )

Thanks for the list! But for someone as inexperienced as I am it is better to get recommendations from people who have actually used any of them and have some impressions... and besides I have some pretty basic needs. I first wanted to use XAMPP but it is pretty big, but it does seem like the most popular one though...
Anyways - thanks again for taking them time - I really appreciate it and have learned something new!

Yes, but from I read it doesn't have Perl...
PERL Add-On
Looks like the PERL Add-On was incorporated to the main XAMPP program so yeah, you need the main XAMPP. Sorry for the false lead on something slimmer.

Not a web server
This is not a webserver, doesn't have a MySQL database, nor Perl. It is, however an awesome piece of software and I carry it everywhere I go just in case.
