Whereabouts do I get this perl script? I have looked on the CVS
web but I get errors and I'm not sure which file? Sorry about this, I
don't know much about CVS. The file from the link above worked
fine, but as you said it can have problems, and I have definitely
modified the admin site. So if the newer script is better I will use
that.

being midgard-data-1.4.1-5?
It will happily install over the altered database? Not a huge issue
though, I will be doing a few dummy runs on a mirror of our
production server.
Thanks for your help!
