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.

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 need to install Chef, but it must use not PostgreSQL that come with the package, I want to use MongoDB.
So i have several questions:
How I understood it, Postgres is installed when I perform $ sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure.
How do I exclude installing on Postgres from chef server without breaking the install off other needed components? Or I just install, run reconfigure and than redirect Chef Server to use MongoDB, if so, how can I get chef starting to use mongoDB?
It was only a little more than a year ago Opscode decided to move from CouchDB to PostgreSQL. CouchDB shared many similarities with MongoDB. Even if there's a particular compelling reason you'd like Chef server to run on MongoDB, I don't think the current framework would support it.

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.

Our team is starting to use Vagrant for development on Mac OS X machines so we can better simulate our Red Hat Enterprise Linux production environment. Our operations group says our Red Hat License only covers instances being run on our VMWare cluster. How do other people deal with RHEL licensing using Vagrant?
We were in the same situation and decided to use CentOS on our developer boxes. https://www.centos.org/
I downloaded basic rhel server I found online and built a vagrant box with Packer for use in Vagrant/Test Kitchen. I'm forced to use various other repositories (CentOS/EPEL/RPMFusion etc) instead of the RHN repos which I don't have access to without licensing. I actually wrote a small chef cookbook to write all the custom /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files after initial install. It definitely works for a dev environment. If you have access to different ISOs then you can built whatever versions of rhel that you need with Packer.

Have you tried this?

Have you also checked the developer subscriptions?

There is a blog specifying how to use vagrant with RHEL... but I can't post 3 links :(
Here is a proposal (I am using this approach since I am also working with rhel vagrant boxes for running ansible scripts)
Create a red hat developers account here (click on register).
Download an rhel vagrant box from here (you will have to log in with your previously created account.
Fire up your box and ssh into it.
Follow these instructions to register your vm

I want to switch my OS from Windows XP to but as a software developer I am worried about that will I able to install/run the development tool successfully [Software like: Visual Studio, Sql Server, PHP ... other related tool].
Which OS will be the best subsitute for the Microsoft Windows XP/7, from a developer point of view?
This really depends what platform you want to develop the software for. If you are writing Windows programs, Microsoft makes great developer tools which of course run on Windows. The effective tools to develop Mac software are (no surprise) available on Macs. So there's really only a choice if you're targeting cross-platform or Linux. You can use virtual machines to construct whatever testing environments you need, so the main choice is your preference.
Since you sound like you are interested in experimenting with new environments, I would suggest you try Linux. I primarily use Emacs with GNU Global and GDB in Linux to do all my development, and I have benefited from other tools like strace and Valgrind. Eclipse is also available, and I hear it's nice. Since you're used to MS tools, I'll warn you that the open-source stuff isn't as polished or as integrated as MS's stuff appears to be, but it's certainly capable.
Well, if you need Microsoft-based software, such as Visual Studio and SQL Server, the best choice of OS will probably be a Microsoft one...
After that, you might want to run some Virtual Machines, for PHP / Linux development.
