Was: Formmail Question? now Matt's Guestbook

Hi,
Wonder if any of you guys can help me.  I am trying to install Matt's
Guestbook.  Everything seems to be working OK until I try to submit an entry
into the book.  On the Addguest.html, after I've written a message, when I
press the "submit query" button I get an error saying that I do not have the
permission to view, etc....  I suspect it's the way the read/write rights
are setup in the guestbook.pl file.  I checked the permissions and for all
of the guestbook files, the permissions are "rw - r - r"  Does anybody know
what the correct permissions are? - especially for the guestbook.pl file.

TIA,
Bob Unger
