You need a system on your TCP/IP
network capable of providing a web service and
running PERL. Although a very wide
platform base can qualify for these, I strongly
recommend a UNIX or LINUX based system; afterall UNIX
and LINUX are the best systems to run a TCP/IP
service on.
Your PERL should have the "libnet"
module library installed. If you don't have it
already, you can get a copy at the download page or from the
famous CPAN PERL
support site..
You might need root access; or at least
sufficient rights to create files and directories
under the httpd document root or cgi root (the
directories where all web related files are located
on a web server). AutoWeb is developed and in use now
on a 430 MHz, 128 MByte Pentium Celeron PC running
LINUX (RedHat 6.1 distribution) and Apache HTTP
server version 1.3. I don't see any reason why it
shouldn't run in harmony with another HTTP server. My
system has PERL version 5.005_03. Any PERL V5.x
should work. AutoWeb does not require much resource,
therefore it can run with a reasonable performance on
any LINUX box.
I never tested AutoWeb on an NT server
and I am afraid it requires a lot of source code
modification to run on an NT system. Since AutoWeb
uses
