Windows

 Required 
 softs 

You will need first to install ActivePerl to use W3Perl.
Fly (graphics) , gzip (ompression) and wget (retrieve logfiles) binary tools are provided with the installation.

Then select which server you are using :

 IIS 

 Apache 

A installer is provided for IIS : w3perl-iis.exe
The configuration file is ready to run.
One thing to improve would be the ability to choose on which IIS server you want to install the package if more than one is detected.
An installer is available for Apache 2.2.4 : w3perl-apach.exe
Other Apache need a manual install (I don't know how to locate other apache version from the registry).
A installer is provided for user without server : w3perl.exe
Configuration file should be edited to reflect your settings.


 Limitations 

Windows server can produce CLF (Common Logfile Format), IIS format or Extended W3C format. W3Perl work with both output, just select the one you want to use in the configuration file. Lots of different date string format are used with IIS server so you'll need to describe your date format in the administration interface. Select one of your logfile and edit it via Notepad to check the month/day/year format used.

Error are stored in an event database on Windows so no file are produced. But you can use redirection with an HTML error page for the different status code and your error pages will be logged in the logfile.


 Thanks 

The installation have been greatly enhanced thanks to the NSIS package.
W3Perl have been fully tested on a NT 4.0 server thanks to Alexandre Gefen. I have been able to test also the package on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Positive feedbacks have been sent with Vista.
