I'm not sure you have the right forum. First, this is a Ruby forum,
not a Rails-specific one. For Rails, try
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk .

Second, you mentioned Perl files. Those aren't Ruby- or Rails-related.

Third, you're using XAMPP. I'm not aware of many Rails developers who
use XAMPP. You'd be better off asking about that on its own mailing
list or forum.

Generally people just start the Rails process and point the browser to
whatever URL is set up. Oftentimes a web server built into Rails is
used, so there's no need for the Apache infrastructure that XAMPP
provides.
