[MacPerl] Novice in trouble:-))

[M’che‡l O SŽ <micheal@compulive.com>]

Hello folks. I am having some trouble with one of Matts scripts which allows people to add links to a page on the Net.
The cgi only seems to run from the same folder as the html page it is acting upon. When I try to place the cgi in my cgi-bin it cannot seem to see the html page in the relevant folder and creates a blank "links.html" in the cgi-bin folder.
Below is an excerpt from the Read Me that came with the cgi.
Forgive me but I am not very proficent in MacPerl yet:-))
