Install Lamp & Perl on Redhat 5.5

Question

I need to install LAMP (including Perl) on a Redhat 5.5 machine. (Note: I am fairly new to Linux, but did do a similar project with ubuntu.) A good tutorial might suffice. Clients need to access a cgi-bin to run perl scripts (I don't yet know a lot about running perl scripts on the server side).

I found two tutorials that specifically mention RedHat (and are less then a year old according to Google). One seems simple and the other seems complicated:

Other suggestions (as a replacement or supplemental) are appreciated.

Include the #s? – John R Oct 21 '11 at 00:41
No, that's a root prompt, e.g., do it as the root user. – dmourati Oct 21 '11 at 01:55
