Title: perl scripts
Post by: NevFilby on March 07, 2002, 05:56:52 AM

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

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)
