HoTTProxy Installation Guides

 Running HoTTProxy on Win32 (EXE version)

Most Win32 users will choose to run the compiled version of HoTTProxy because it eliminates the need to install a Perl interpeter and all of the Perl modules that HoTTProxy requires. The compiled version was created using PerlApp by ActiveState.

 Running HoTTProxy on Linux and other Platforms

Since HoTTProxy is pure Perl, it can run on any computer that has a Perl interpreter. This article tells how to run HoTTProxy in its native Perl script form. Most folks going this route will probably be Linux users, but adventurous Win32 (or highly technical) Win32 users may wish to as well. The advantage of running the native Perl script is you can go into the script and tweak it and make changes, whereas in the compiled Win32 executable, the only portion of the script you have any control over is the add-in filters, and any settings controlled by the configuration file. While the process should be the nearly identical for all platforms, I focus on Linux and Win32 because that's what I have available to me. If you're running HoTTProxy on another platform, let me know if you run into anything noteworthy.
