OK, I've checked, rechecked, triple checked and tore my hair out checking paths and permissions, and I still get:

"Error including libraries: (Maybe you didn't strip carriage returns after a network transfer?)

Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly."

The files are in ascii mode, not binary, and they have Perl 5. It still wont work.

the path is /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/coffins/sanguinarius/cgi-bin/links/admin/

the url is http://www.thecoven.org/coffins/sanguinarius/cgi-bin/links/admin

Do you need other information?

uh, do I leave off the very first "/" or do I include that? If that's not the problem, then how do I strip carriage returns, and (pardon my stupidlity) what exactly are they?

Someone please help, I've spent the last 2-3 days ripping my hair out over this!

It is almost a sure bet that one of the script files was uploaded as binary as that is what generates that error. I suggest that you reupload each .cgi, .pl, and .pm script file as ASCII again. Do the same for all the template files as well. The error should go away after that.

OK< great! That works, but now when I click on Build Pages, I get the following message:

And they are most certainly NOT down, overloaded or unreachable. I am there, and I just went there. What do I do? Or what did I do wrong?

Is the script pointing to the correct version of perl? That is, is "#!/usr/local/bin/perl" (or whatever you have) at the top of the script pointing to v5.004 of perl or version 4?
