Here are answers to your question...Although Alex, the author, may be able to add in more details that I've missed.
1: Here are things that you change in the script:
1) The path to your Perl program, which is the first line in the script.
2) Change the lines between print qq| |; Make sure that you keep the variables,
$greeting,
$time, and
$country in the greeting.
3) If you want to have a "feedback" link, then change the link to either an email link or guest book web page that you may have on your site.
2: You would upload the file to your
cgi-bin directory. It may be best to save the file as .cgi extension. Change the permission of the file to 755.
3: I believe that this script relies on SSI (Server Side Includes) programming within your web page where you want it to work. The best thing to do is rename your home page or whatever page you want to include this script as .shtml or .shtm. Yet your ISP may allow SSI on regular .html and .htm files. You would use the following codes to "call" the script in that web page:
Code:
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/homepage.cgi"-->
Hope this helps.
