um, how am i supposed to do this?

thanks!!
 
sorry :"> thought you'd understand, cause i certainly don't!!!

um, it's for this script that i need to run for this website of ours (an isp website). on the support page, they tell us to download the script, change it to a .pl, change the permission of the script (which i still haven't figured out), and then "be installed on your web-server so that it is executable as a CGI."

does anyone know more about this than i do?!
 
well, if you have a unix based server (solaris or linux) and you are or can become owner of the file, just do a
Code:
chmod 755 filename.pl

if you're set up to run perl scripts (ie perl is installed) you should be good to go... otherwise... you need much more help :)
