Topic: perl scripts

Do I need to install Perl on to the e-smith server before I can run perl scripts. If so where do I get it from and where and how do I install it on to the e-smith server?
TIA
Nev

Perl is installed by default.

thanks dan. any idea why nothing would happen at all after hitting submit button. I have given executable permissions to the perl script file.

Did you add "#!/usr/bin/perl" as the first line in your script?

Also check that the owner of the scripts is shared if you're populating your primary html dir.  (I think)
