admin_html.pl charactrer
I'm now recieving the follwoing error message.

Error including libraries: Unrecognized character \272 at /usr/home2/mghffl/html/cgi-bin/links1/admin/admin_html.pl line 1.

I've looked at the file, but short of counting characters to 272...anyone else ever see this problem before?

Make sure that you do not have 272 in the first line of the admin_html.pl file. The first line should not contain anything but # (the rem character). The error message is NOT referring to line 272, but the "unrecognized character \272" in line 1 of your admin_html.pl file.

The first line is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
as is every other file.

You do not need the Perl path in the admin_html.pl file. DELETE it.

The first few lines of this file should look like the following:

Code:
# -------------
# Links
# -------------
# Links Manager
#
# File: admin_html.pl
