System Requirements

Unix or Lynyx operating system l

Perl 5l

Telnet Accessl

Preliminaries

Determine the path to PERL 5 on your web
server host. Note that some web hosting companies run both PERL 4 and PERL 5.
Make ABSOLUTELY sure you are not setting this up under PERL 4. Ask your
administrator if you are not sure. l

If
you need to review or learn the basics of CGI and Perl visit Drew Star's CGI Tutorialsl

Unpack the zip archive on your desktop using a
program like WINZIP. If you don't have such a program then download WINZIP FREE from SHAREWARE.COM. l

After you have unpacked the archive you will
have a collection of folders and files on your desktop. Now you have to do some
basic editing of each of these files (or at least some of them). Use a text editor
such as wordpad, notepad, BBEdit, simpletext, or teachtext to edit the files. These
are NOT WORD PROCESSOR DOCUMENTS they are just simple TEXT files so don't save them as
word processor documents or save them with extentions such as .txt or they will NOT WORK.
Note that there may be a some files inside of folders which are "blank".
This is normal.l

Preparing the CGI scripts

Define Path To PERL 5

The first step is to open up each and every
file that has a .cgi extention and edit line number one of each script. Each of the
cgi scripts is written in perl 5. For your scripts to run they must know where perl 5 is
installed on your web server. The path to perl 5 is defined to a cgi script in the first
line of the file. In each of the cgi scripts the first line of code looks something like
this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

If the path to perl 5 on your web server is
different from /usr/bin/perl you must edit the first line of each cgi script to reflect
the correct path. If the path to perl 5 is the same no changes are necessary. If you do
not know the path to perl 5 ask the webmaster or system administrator at your server site.

File Locations

The following files will be uploaded into a
SPECIAL HTML DIRECTORY which htaccess will control
