Mike, Thanks for the suggestions. I've incorporated them into the script. I don't program in Perl nearly as often as I'd like to; I'd forgotten how fun it is. Heh.

You may be right about this. I checked the documentation for wwwboard on Matt's Script Archive, and it said to chmod wwwboard.html to 777 there but 666 is probably sufficient. I'll give it a try. wwwboard is not my first choice of software for this particular situation. Unfortunately, it's what we've got, and the Powers that Be here are wary of converting to a better solution since we have so many files that were created by wwwboard. -- Sliante, Richard S.
