Dieter, You know its not like that.

Its just that im the newest kind of newbie being freshly exposed to the world of pearl and cgi and everything is difficult at first, and when I read the forums it just seems more complicated than that, plus with all the technical terminology all the other users speak, its just hard to understand.

Im in no position to doubt you. The truth is I didnt even mean for you to reply in the first place because you've done so much already just by creating the software.
I will contribute monetarily and informationwise once I figure out how to get eAuction up and running, plus I want the 1.6.2 version anyway, I gotta donate for that if nothing else.

But, I just wanted someone who has struggled with installation in the begging like im doing now, to realy post somewhat of a small yet in depth tutorial of exactly how they got it done. If no one does then I will be sure to do so once I figure it out. If its alright with you.

I downloaded ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-MSWin32-x86-148120, I hope thats the right version, and I read up on the IIS thing you mentioned and it seems that thats a server type of thing like apache so I dont need apache, and I dont need php because perl is the coding language, if all thats right then its starting to make a little bit of sense to me...

-eAuction is to be installed on the local server
-IIS is the local server.
-perl is the coding language.
-cgi is a script to be configured in when using perl.

If all this is right then all I need for the whole installation is IIS and perl just like you said, but If I missed anything or got something wrong please correct me.
