[MacPerl] testing locally

["Nava Bromberger" <sofia@interport.net>]

Hi,

I know this must have been asked before, but I've searched the faqs, MacPerl
book, and the Learning Perl book and can't find an answer.

I've been learning perl and want to start testing scripts locally without
being connected to my isp. I installed Apple's Personal Web Sharing,
NetPresenz and Quid Pro Quo, looked at their documentation but none
specifically addresses how to set-up a server to not dial-in. Do I need to
be connected while testing??

What I'd like to know is if there are Appletalk, Filesharing, and whatever
else settings that I can set to let me test locally.

I turned on file sharing, made Appletalk active in the chooser, set the
appletalk control panel to remote only, set TCP/IP to Appletalk but whenever
I start up a server it either tries to dial into my isp or hangs because of
the Appletalk settings.

I'm using OS 8.1 on a 7500/100 with a 56k modem.

P.S. the Macperl book briefly mentions this issue on page 231 seems to leave
out a few important details.
