The two best Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP/Perl ones are XAMPP and WAMPServer. InstantRails is specifically for Ruby on Rails development and uses Apache-MySQL. My preference is XAMPP, its portable (but don't try to run it from a USB drive, its too slow). However I think WAMP Server is more user friendly. If you're relatively inexperience with Apache/MySQL administration, I'd go for WAMP Server. Yep, I’ve tried all of them out. The two best Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP/Perl ones are XAMPP and WAMPServer.
