I Need An Apache, Perl, MySQL, PHP All-In-One Download
My brother and I teamed up together, starting a new local website development business. He is going to be the salesman, and I am going to be the web designer. I would like to be able to design websites and present them to clients using my laptop offline. I know that this can easily be done by installing Apache, Perl, MySQL, and PHP. Is there a program out there that automatically installs everything you need? Something easy, that auto configures everything (Click Next, Click Next, Click Next, Click Install… and done)? Anyway, comments are opened up for references. If you know of a program that automatically does this, please let me know. If one doesn’t exist, what are the steps towards installing all these programs on a local computer so that you can design offline prior to going live with it?

I believe you can write perl in linux. If so, check out the ubuntu linux distro. There is a special server version (LAMP - Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). Or you could just download an offline browser and show your sites off that way.

What are you writing in Perl?

I am not writing anything in Perl. I haven’t used Perl in a long time, but figured it would be good to have it just in case. I have been searching for a couple hours, because I think Vex posted something or sent me an email once before that had an “All-In-One” program for your computer… basically turning it into a personal web server, mainly so that you can verify your a wordpress install, development, and modification… Maybe he will post it for me again?
What is the difference between and offline browser and simply just using IE7 Offline? Basically, when I present a site to a client, I would like to be able to type: localhost in the browser to have the site load up each time. Having all the functions and code work, just as it would online.

An offline browser saves an entire website to your hard drive. It can be called a website copier as well. A very good open source server setup is sambar. They are well documented and you can run it as you described above.
Or are you looking to build the site on your laptop, using the server program to mimic the internet? I would just set up a subdirectory of blogtheinternet and build the site there.

For windows try WAMP. Its a really great program, I have my developers use it for ease of use. It has a tray icon which is great to enable php modules. Not sure about the Perl part of it, but you can just install active state for that.
Good luck in your venture!
