Dude, use IIS. It's like PWS' big brother and is by far and away a better server, you have to install it using the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel applet, and go to Optional Windows Components and choose Internet Information Services. Anyhway, all the configuration is done via Administritave Tools in XP, once IIS is installed there will be a snap-in there to configure it, and from there, it's pretty easy. There is even an introduction to administrating a web server included which should get you well on your way.

All of the above assumes you are using XP Pro, it might work on XP Home, but I amn't sure if IIS is included on it. Anyways, if you are using XP Home I thoroughly reccomend Apache and ActiveState ActivePerl, configuring it is pretty simple just folow the intstructions included with both packages.
If that is beyond you download
Nusphere MySQL despite the name, it is Perl friendly. It is a ~30MB download and it will configure and install Perl, PHP, MySQL, Apache, SendMail and webmin on your PC, it's a pretty decent package.
