Why not use IIS 5? It's already there and it is a fully functional version. Add ActivePerl and you're ready to go. If you are looking for user friendly then use what the OS expects to see. IIS is an extremely power web server. You'll have to make sure that the IUSR_xxxxxx user has the proper permissions for the cgi-bin and Infopop has great instructions to get you going.
You don't "uninstall" IIS, you turn it off. You can also add PHP very easily. Try IIS and if you don't like it or just want to learn more then try Apache.

My suggestion is to use IIS - it comes with the Windows CD - and enable it in Start - Settings - Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs (that's if you use the *cough*good*/cough* settings, not the default windowsxp ones). Then choose Add/Remove Windows Components, and check "Internet Information Services (IIS)". Then you'll also need to install ActivePerl from the link above.

I'm going to be publishing instructions on setting up a full server (Apache2, Perl, PHP, MySQL) locally very soon, possibly even today (if I get the dern screen shots done in time). I haven't found any good tutorials out on the Net yet, so I decided to just do my own.

After some complications involving Apache 2.0.39 and PHP, I've finally sorted out a working solution, so all I've got to do now is document it.

I have already install the activeperl but I dont know how to use it.
Pls email me to for the detailed proceduce on how to set up a personal web server in window xp with IS.
I have searched for web but in vain. I am not a computer-lite so I want to know the full step on how to process it. Hope you can help me.
Moreover, can you also introduce some firewall software which also user-friendly to protect the web server.
Thanks!!

I don't like IIS and I don't use IIS, so I can't really help you out. If you can wait until tomorrow, I'll be done with my in-depth instructions on using Apache. If you're really desperate, you might try phpdev . I haven't tested this, nor have I heard of anyone using it, so don't turn to me if it blows something up.

The instructions aren't detailed at all, you're instructing people to use old versions of the software, and you've got PHP set up to run as a CGI binary, leaving the user's computer open to attacks. Sorry to be facetious, but bravo.

Matt, I wouldn't say the computer is left open to attacks because it is configured for localhost . On using old versions its a revision of a old guide I made, and seems as I had no spare computers to test my guide with new software on I decided to includeolder software links that I knew worked. Also, If you can tell me how to get the PHP running as a SAPI without getting all sorts of errors, including "Access Violation at..." I would instantly update my guide 
And so another year begins...

That doesn't mean that people can't access it by visiting the machine's current IP address.

It's easy, and you'll see exactly how after I finish writing my series on server configuration.

I'm not going to email you the instructions, you're going to be able to read them online when they're ready.

Very nice Matt. Now I know how to sort out perl so I don't need to keep changing the shebang line before uploading.
