Got it! Thanks!

Now that all is setup, I find that the software I'm trying to use and 
that is designed for AMPP is acutally all built to be hosted on 
Windows... so looks like I'm going to have to do a lot of re-writing to 
get it to run.

But at least, now, I can open .pl files from my web server!

Thanks,
Gilles.
