It sounds like something is in the wrong place. Try running perl -c
batchsetup.cgi from the command line. Also make sure that the path to
perl in batchsetup.cgi is correct. The path to perl should be the very
first line, beware of blank lines and any space preceding #. Check
spelling of script name and pathname. Make sure Apache is executing
.pl and .cgi scripts. Convert the script to Unix if it was created or
transferred from a DOS box.

perl -c batchsetup.cgi from the command line results in "syntax ok"
The perl path in batchsetup is #!/usr/bin/perl , which is the same as my
test scripts, and it is the very first line.
As far as this file being created or copied from a dos machine, good
question. I received it as a zip file, and I unzipped it directly into
the target directory
Now get this. I have tried on several occasions (generally because I
thought I may have messed up the program trying to get it to run) I have
re-downloaded the program, and unzipped it in the destination
directory. This has never resulted in any progress. However. This
morning, I did it again (re-download and unzip), ran the program and it
worked. I have no idea what changed this time, but it is now working.
Thanks to everyone who assisted with suggestions. I hope to be at the
meeting next week.
Darcy
