THIS IS AGRIVATING I have a guestbook.pl script from http://www.scriptarchive.com/ that worked, and now doesn't!!!! the permissions are 755 for the script and 777 for the guestbook it writes to. Not being very familiar with perl what are some things to look for.
BTW: This worked 2 days ago and i don't think i changed anything.

You're going to have to be more specific than "it doesn't work!". Are you getting any error messages?
Regardless, you should ditch that script. Scripts from scriptarchive.com are poorly written, buggy, and insecure.

I get an e-mail that it was added successfully, and the user (myself testing) gets feedback that it was saved. But there are no changes to the guestbook.html file. the locations are correct, and the script is running (it does the e-mail and the feedback) but doesn't seem to work anymore.
If you have suggestions where i could get another script file (i was taught asp, and java for web development so cgi interfaces are new to me) or a good perl tutorial to learn perl I'd be willing to try it. I'm currently looking at scripts from http://www.icthus.net/CGI-City/scr_guestbooks.shtml

I got it to work now using my original script... i'm so close to having this site go live that i don't wanna take the time to change it (i will change the script soon but not if it's working now)
