Thank you to everyone who posted here! I received a suggestion (on
apache forum) to try out apachefriends.org. They have an all-you-can-
eat (PHP/Pear, Perl, MySQL, etc.) Apache distro called XAMPP, which I
was told was easy to use. So I downloaded it and, lo & behold, it
WORKED! Right out of the box. I recommend this distribution highly for
those cognitively-impaired newbies such as myself. For the time being
I just want to test out my Perl & PHP scripts on a server. When I want
to get into the nuts 'n' bolts of serverdom, I'll probable be using a
Linux distribution for the operating system.

Again, thanks to all those who made suggestions! I greatly appreciate
the help.
