Re: [MacPerl] testing locally

["Frank T. Riherd" <friherd@worldnet.fr>]

I'm assuming you're talking about testing CGI scripts. You can do with with
MacHTTP acting as a server on your MAC. (You can get MacHTTP from
www.starnine.com.) You can put your MAC in a "loopback" mode so that you
don't have to be connected to your ISP.

To do that go into the TCP/IP control panel. Change "Connect via:" to
"AppleTalk (MacIP)", "Configure:" to  "Manually using MacIP" and "IP
Address:" to "192.168.0.2".

This works for me quite well on System 7.5.5 and saves me the expense of
having to be connected to my ISP for hours on end.
