Hi

I am not able to run nph-build.cgi to build de data; telnet says:

euskal-internet: {9} % perl nph-build.cgi
syntax error in file nph-build.cgi at line 36, next 2 tokens "use vars"
syntax error in file nph-build.cgi at line 57, next 2 tokens "} and"
Illegal modulus of constant zero in file nph-build.cgi at line 73, next 2 tokens
"in ="

okens "\parse_form;"
Illegal modulus of constant zero in file nph-build.cgi at line 77, next 2 tokens
"steps ="
syntax error in file nph-build.cgi at line 77, next 2 tokens "=>"
Execution of nph-build.cgi aborted due to compilation errors.


Running through a browser:

Files has been uploaded compressed as originals and unzipped
into server. Permissions should be OK.
Maybe LWP module? or Lwp?

Thanks for any help

This:
shows that you didn't upload all of your files as ASCII text. You need do delete the files that you did not upload as ASCII text and re-upload them as ASCII text.

Also check the top of the script to make sure it is pointing to Perl 5 and not Perl 4.
