I have perl script for scraping which uses WWW::Mechanize::Firefox and firefox addon MozRepl.
Now, i need to deploy it on a web hosting server. The problem is that the they don't provide any interface or UI terminal so that i can launch firefox and launch it from there .
Can anyone tell me a way to install MozRepl addon in Firefox from the shell or by any other means
You can use the python tool used, CFX, to develop the SDK and addons to automate installing of addons. In the future, we'd like to be able to install addons with the Firefox binary command line flags

Yes i have used TightVNC server/viewer to connect to server with GUI, and then installed the required modules using the interface.

I was trying to connect to my laptops' ftp server but the connection failed. so my question is do Windows laptops have a FTP server on them already or does the user have to set one up?
By default, no FTP server is enabled on Windows.
You can enable the built-in FTP server of windows at the Control Panel > Programs and Features > Enable or disable Windows features and enable the FTP server and the IIS management console in the list. Then, you can configure it using the IIS management console program on your PC.

I have installed and configured avahi-daemon and samba on Centos 6.6 and it's working when I am testing it from an Ubuntu machine. e.g.: ping myhostname.local or smb://myhostname.local
However, when I try from a windows machine, neither samba works nor I can ping it via ping myhostname
Can anyone please explain me the possible difference between what Windows does and what Ubuntu does.
Besides, it would be great if Windows could list my server when browsing network, but I don't know if I should enable something like a broadcast or just normal configuration is adequate.
Thanks a log in advance.
I've just post an answer to the same question on serverfault:

I am currently using Windows Powershell with Git I am mainly developing websites but I have noticed some developers like to use Putty Wanted to get some of your thoughts if its needed if I am using the PowerShell already since its a ssh.
Sounds like you are confusing the both. PowerShell is a shell environment for windows. Putty is a terminal emulator, mostly used for SSH and Telnet. Perhaps you are reffering to Cygwin, which is a Linux "emulator" which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows.. Cygwin ships with Bash, but you can choose to use whatever shell or package using the installer.

I'm maintaining a simple web site written in Perl in my copious free time, and I don't want do my coding on the live website any more, instead checking if the changes work on a local machine first.
As far as I can tell, the web site runs on apache.
Should I install apache on my local machine, or are there simpler (but well documented!) options more suited to a development box?
Related question: How can I run Perl on web servers? , but seems to be talking about a production box, not a development box.
XAMPP is an excellent package for precisely this purpose. It includes Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl, and other tools, all pre-configured to run on your local machine. I use it for WordPress, but I expect that it would be equally good for Perl CGI development.
I use it on Windows. It is also available for Linux and Mac.
Hat tip to Kenosis, who mentioned XAMPP first. I didn't see that at the time.

Chrome OS has vim preinstalled. I would like to add Emacs in terminal mode. I have not found any leads by searching the internet. My question is:
How I can Install software locally on Chrome OS?
ChromeOS is not derived from Ubuntu.
I don't think you can install any software on it unless it's a pure web app.
BTW, if you wish to have a nice editor to write code try cloud9 (or some other online editors/IDE that gives you powerful options to develop).
Here is a short post I've wrote on the options we have today in ChromeOS: http://greenido.wordpress.com/2011/07/04/web-developers-and-the-new-chromebook/
#Ido It is not Ubuntu, but I do believe it is derived from Ubuntu. It is definitely Linux, and follows a lot of the Ubuntu/Debian conventions. Supposedly you can install qemacs on a chrome os device with the following steps.
Boot into developer mode.
Get to the console with cntl-alt-f2.
"sudo su -" to become super user.
Run "dev_install", which will install the portage package management tools.
Run "emerge qemacs" to install emacs.
That's the theory, anyway. There appear to be some unresolved bugs with dev_install.
ymacs.org looks promising to me
I think the best way to achieve this is with crouton by installing ubuntu itself in your chromebook without a graphical desktop, so you can run ubuntu/emacs/whatever in a regular google chrome tab.
That is:
turn on developer mode
get crouton : https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton
install ubuntu raring without X (follow the blog instructions)
install emacs
sudo apt-get install emacs
NB: Give this no-X thing a try, it's much better to swipe between tabs than to switch screens every time you want to use emacs.
