Installing Scripts - Don't be Scared!

Path To Perl Wraps It Up

The only other thing you need to know are your path to Perl and path to sendmail. Most scripts will probably have this set up correctly but if you need to change this, get the info from your hosts. Any good host will have this info available at their site.

I would recommend that you download a free script from somewhere and install it for practice. Try Advance Logger (http://www.perlonline.com) - there's a free version and it's easy to install.

This may not have made the process seem to much simpler, but believe me, for basic scripts it's easy and it's something you should learn to save money and give you more control over your site.
