Like bpa said, the announcement script is _not_ a plugin, it's a
standalone script you have to run when you want to show something on
the player. For example you could configure your email client to run it
every time you got a new email. But on it's own it won't do anything.

This is not a plugin, but a standalon script which must be executed using
perl. www.activestate.com has perl for Windows.

If you need more help you'll need to specify which version of the
server you are using as it makes a difference

When you say a perl script, do you mean a standalone perl script? If so
thats not a plugin.
If its a perl module pluginname.pm then you can just put it in the
plugins directory if you are using 6.5.x
Can you indicate where you got the plugin from?

Weren't they supposed to make plugins more user-friendly in 7.0? Or
maybe it didn't make the cut for the 7.0 release? No biggie as far as
I'm concerned, mind you.

AFAICT the announcement script is not a plugin but a script you run when
you want an announcement to appear on an SB display.
It uses the CLI interface to put a message on the screen and so you
should run this script when the event you want to announce has happened
- e.g mail arrived.
