adding a link gives error message
I made a catagory (that worked great!) and when I tried to add a link into it, I received the following error message. I don't have a Time/Local.pm file anywhere. is that why the script can't find it?
How can I fix this and where do I get/put this file if I need it??

Contact your hosting company and ask them to upgrade to Perl 5.005 with all the current Perl modules, including Local.pm.

That is your problem.

Thanks for your quick response Elliot. It would figure that the solution to my problem is out of my own control!

Complex scripts like LINKS 2.0 do require a lot more server resources and you need to do some research on your server to understand what it has and what you need to operate scripts, like LINKS 2.0.

Just a friendly suggestion.

Yes When I searched their site it said I should be running perl 5.005.02

But I guess they have not updated my domain yet. I have asked them to. Hopefully they are as responsive as you!
Thanks again

Don't count on it! Most hosting companies are hard to deal with especially when it comes to technical support...
