I had a problem like Margaret's. add.cgi, modify.cgi etc would stop at 39% and not display anything even if you waited for an hour. I finally got it to display something, except instead of running the program it displays the file with # where linebreaks would be.

Couple thoughts:

1) Your web server is not configured to execute .cgi scripts. Change your file extensions to .pl.

2) You do not have the correct Perl path.

3) You do not have the correct ABSOLUTE path to the links.cfg in the first require line.

4) You have not uploaded all your files in ASCII mode.
