I setup my LAN server in late 2003 and it has been up ever since. There have been major changes in tutorials and a few botched trial and error database conversions but all-in-all; nothing has changed much. I, honestly, love minilogin and have never had a problem with it; granted 6.2 is a hellofalot better than 6.1! Google search for: ActivePerl-5.10.1.1007-MSWin32-x86-291969 if you still need it. This is the version of perl that has worked for me and I found it in Google a few seconds ago and never saw a price tag on it.
Keep trying, you may be bald from pulling your hair out before it is all over but you will get there. I knew crap about SQL nor Perl before I started venturing into server creation. The fun is the journey. Just keep retracing steps, and wiping, and retracing steps and wiping, .... eventually the server works. Stop wiping the hard drive after that.
