Well I installed it on a NT Server and after updating perl and making sure the server read .pl and .cgi I got it up and running, now I've transferred it to a Unix box and I can't seem to get it to run. I've checked the path using another cgi script so I'm somewhat sure that's not the problem, I think it my be the version of perl, my provider tells me that it's version 6 but I have no way of knowing for sure, anyone have any ideas?

See if puting your admin path and url makes it work.

I did, I just left the old code in and commented it out as a point of reference, thanks, any other ideas?

Duh! It's about time to schedule another eye appointment...

Look at your paths and urls. They seem to conflict; in your script path, you have /cgi-bin in a subdirectory of /pages/, and in another place, /cgi-bin is off your root.
