Hello Jane! If you have telnet access to your web server, just go the the telnet prompt, and type: "which perl" (without the quotation marks, of course). You should get a response something like "usr/bin/perl". Then, go back into your UBB script and enter this path into the very first line. There is probably one already there, so just replace whatever path statement is on the first line of the script with what you received when you queried the server: e.g. replace: "#!usr/local/bin/perl" with "#!usr/bin/perl" Remember that this must go on the first line of the script, with no leading or trailing spaces, and it must be followed by a blank line in the script.
