Hi Dennis, Yeah you noticed the "path-to-perl" discrepancy. That was an
accident, the path-to-perl is
#!/usr/bin/perl
as in the later example. That's not it
Also, I've tried setting the permissions wide open to 777 and I still get
the same errors. I'll see if I can find anything in the error logs. Thanks!
Luke
