Re: perl and java and html

Thanks very much Chris for the clear explanation. Sounds like just what I need - A way to completely build and check out a web site on my own compter and then be able to migrate it to a hosting service when I'm ready. Sure beats the local editing and back and forth trips from my computer to the hosting service via FTP and SSH shell.

These kits are useful for developers to set up things on their Windows workstations (or laptops) and do all the work there, developing and testing sites all from one computer that isn't even necessarily attached to a network -- think of commuting on a train, etc. Once you're happy with how it works here, you can upload your work to whatever the server may be (or serverS, for that matter, if things are broken up that way), and everything should work the same way there that it did originally.

These kits make things very easy, too. I've seen them set up on laptops for non-technical managers and salespeople so that they could do onsite demos of complex Apache / Perl / PHP / MySQL / Flash / Actionscript web
sites. Even if there wouldn't be a network connection available for the demo, no problem, just click the "Apache Start" icon in the Start menu, then open up http://localhost/demo/ in the web browser, and it seems as if the salesperson was connected back to the "real" site. Everything is going to work exactly the same way as the real site, even when it's all just running from a modest little Windows laptop.
