Right, I've written myself the basic layout to my upcoming online CV, along with a near-finished portfolio page.
The only thing is, I have a couple of questions that you fine people may be able to help with. First of all, is having a small number of pages a good idea? So far I have a Contact Page, Portfolio Page, Script Diary (to publish some of my written programs/online scripts) and Home planned, but I'm not sure if that's really enough.
Also, on the home page I was going to a little 'about' intro, any tips on what I should include/avoid?
And finally, I need a host/web server to try out my Perl CGI scripts on, but I'm a little stumped. In the book I'm working through, it mentions that Apache is a free web server that can be used, and otherwise I'd have to pay to use these scripts on a fully-fledged domain (which I was planning on doing in the future, but not just yet). Now I know nothing about Apache, what it does and how to get it, so can anyone give me a little information on this? Whether or not it's worth it?
I know very little about web hosting and the like, so any help would be hugely appreciated.
Cheers.

Can you use that version of apache as a Web Server running it off your home PC?
It doesn't matter if it doesn't im still replacing my version with it. Where do you find these kind of things?

Don't download that one from below...

Get Xampp, it's an Apache package with loads of stuff pre-installed. It's simple to install and it comes pre-packed with PHP, MySQL, Perl, everything...
All you do is extract it all and run the setup script, you press a few buttons and it is all set up.

Right - Apache is free to use on a system as a Local Host, read about it here:

I have it running on Windows XP Pro, but it can only be used on my LAN and nothing else. From what you are saying you need to have it online so other people can view it - In that case ask someone like Turbonutter who can tell you a few reliable hosts.
Other than that i cannot be of much help, but could you tell me what Perl is like as a Web-Language as i am thinking about learning it?
