New Install - which Perl, MySQL, PHP, Apache should I use?

Hi,

Just set up a test server on FreeBSD 5.2.

I'm not sure which versions of  Perl, MySQL, PHP, Apache I should install. There seems to be a few choices in the ports directory.

Which of the following should I install? I want to learn more about PHP and MySQL.

I would stay away from ports unless you are doing a VERY basic install.  I suggest you use this step-by-step doc on installing all the components you need.  It is the best written and correct one ive ever come across on the net.
