Hi Sally (Kevin?),
sounds like somthing in your webserver cgi-setup is wrong..
perhaps your path to perl is wrong in the script being called?
Or you haven't edited any relevant bits of the code for file locations etc..
I am have never used Matt's Scripts, but have you checked that your webserver can
execute cgi's?
Check your webserver error logs, and also run the perl script from the command line.
One other thing, although free scripts like Matt's are useful, if you plan to install
(and maintain)
perl scripts on a website, reading a book such as Learning Perl:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lperl2/
will save you much time in the long run.
(ad you'll probably find you want to write your own scripts too).
:-)
Oh, and if the problem persists - it would be handy to know more detail like output
from the error logs, webserver type, what errors the script produced from the command
line etc.
:-)
