Hi ecchi

I have changed my hosting provider, found out how to change permissions on my FTP.

The script I was trying out, I do not need - I was using it to practise with as it is supposed to be simple.

I have a fetish site, and after reading the "something different "(your sig) I want to use your script in perl.

Perl and SSI are enabled on my new hosting. The path to perl is the same as you used. I have triple checked and re done everything and it is not appearing on my page, so a few questions :

1. I have set the executable permissions on the script. Must I also set the permissions on CGI?

2. I made a new page for this script to run on (blush - I use Front Page 2002!) Do I insert the code for call to SSI in the body?

3. When I save the script to a text file, what encoding should I use? I have windows vista and my choices are ANSI, unicode, unicode big endian and UTF-8.

4. In your script, where I put in my own ID code, I take it I put in the full URL with my code in it?

I have checked your reasons as to why the script is not working, and feel my error may be caused by one of the above.

Thanks
