Installing Perl and local directory

I am running apache on WIN 2K

htdocs, is that wherre I would put my index.html file and if I have
something referenced on the web as: http://mysite.com/pictures/image1.jpg

Look for a line in your httpd.conf file DirectoryIndex and change it
to the following:
DirectoryIndex index.html

You can have a list of files, like so:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml index.htm index.php index.php3

That way, whichever one is in a directory gets served by default; if
you have two of the files in the list in the same directory, then the
one closer to the front of the list gets served.

You can basically take the default installation files ("it worked",
etc.) found in the htdocs folder and remove them. I like to keep them
around for comparison, so create a new folder in htdocs called
"originals" and put them all in there. That way only my files are in
the top level of htdocs, plus any subdirectories I create.

Experiment with things, and refer to the documentation when unsure.
