Although these are good suggestions, I think they miss the original
intention. We were looking for something that we could distribute on CD and
have it run, regardless of whether the user had Perl or a web server
installed on their workstation. And then Bob Showalter said:

Not sure what you're after, but to run CGI's offline, you can just:
1) Install a Perl distribution (Indigo Perl or Active Perl are simple)
2) Whack Apache on your box (comes as binary for most OS's)
- I found the Bindows version simple to install and run.
- Just tell it where your perl install is, etc.
It was all so simple I can't really remember exactly and away you go:
'http://localhost/cgi-bin/script.pl' Never look back.
Obviously there are still a few differences between running locally and on a
live webserver, but it's a step closer...
HTH someone,
