				| on windows, you do not need to chmod. Simply right click on the file, goto properties, and ensure read only isnt selected. I think the process is similar on unix based systems, but you set the full permissions. |  |

				| CHMOD is a Unix/Linux command.  It does not work on Windows.

 No.  CHMOD means to change file permissions.  That is a server-related command.   Certain scripts have to have certain permissions on the server in order to work:
 
 1.  Read
 2.  Write
 3.  Execute
 
 Basically, each of the 3 numbers in the CHMOD setting (Example: 777 or 755) means WHO gets to do WHAT on your server with a script.

				| You open whatever script you need to configure with a text editor like Notepad, then edit the path to Perl by manually typing it in and saving the edited file.

				| Not to be mean, but I already know how to EDIT the perl path.  I just don't know what that path is.  I am so stoopid  :( |  |
