Jump to PostI suggest you use LAMP server. http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php
This server includes apache, php5, mysql and phpMyAdmin, guess thats basicly everything you need , except for a perl compiler?
Jump to PostYou could install the strawberry Perl interpreter on your system. But i have absolutely no idea how it will integrate with LAMP server :)
I only used perl once a linux machine, a long time ago(thank god for that :p )

I like to use http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html since it is free, easy to install and you can even run it from a USB flash drive!

great info on the free systems.
a way to cost money, but no much that we used for almost exactly what you are talking about is a $300 dell tower server with ubuntu linux. have had it for about a year, no issues
