Newbie: Using Knoppix for web development

Hi Guys,

I'm more of a software developer. I can get around in Linux, but I haven't dabled in the more advanced features just yet.

I was hoping to use Knoppix for perl development, runing on Linux and serving up pages locally.

Has anyone done this? I've set up my machine before with Appache on Windows, but my programs all use the #usr/bin/perl. I'm also hoping to use MySql too. Am I asking too much of Knoppix?

Any ideas how to get me started on this?

Thanks :)
