After downloading, I had two gif files, a license agreement and two pl files. There is very little explanation of hopw to set up the pl files. As well, there is no explanation (the same thing occurs with all script files found on the internet) of how to set up a html page to access the pl files. If you are going to take the time to generate those script files, why not an explanation of how to incorporate the script file in to a html page?
Actually the file
eConfig161.pl allows you to do a lot html coding, if you know how. If you look at some of the sites in the "Show us your Auction" section you will see what I mean.
Put the 2 scripts in your cgi-bin inside a folder named
eAuction161 and set the permissions for eAuction.pl to 755 and eConfig161.p to 644
All the directions to get the program running begin at
line 393 of eAuction.pl
My suggestion is to not change anything in the config file until you see that it the program does not run. Running the test, explained in the Instructions at line 393, creates all the additional folders where they are needed.
# INSTALLATION:
# -----------------
# In order to run the program you have to download
# the Config-File (eConfig161.pl) too.
#
# - edit eConfig161.pl and save it
# - save THIS file as eAuction.pl
# - search your server for your cgi-bin directory
# - create a new sub-directory: eAuction161
# - chmod that sub-directory (at least) 755.
#
# - upload
# eAuction.pl
# eConfig161.pl
# to the directory 'eAuction161' (use ASCII-Mode)
#
# - chmod 755 eAuction.pl
# - chmod 644 eConfig161.pl
# - start your browser and type in:

# - start your browser and type in:
# Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!! You need to or !!
#
# In order to use the delivered icons (or your own icons)
# - start your FTP-Program again
# - select the directory 'eAuction'
# - select the sub-directory 'auction_pics'
# - upload the pics to this directory (use Binary-Mode)
#
#
# Notice that the script is asking for Perl 5.6.0 (or higher) !!
# I don't know whether it is runable under Perl 5.5.x
Sounds to me like you have not tried to get it running yet.
