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.

well the following worked for me, i dunno, about you:


any file that requires CHMOD-ing has a field for it inside the file, use a text editor and look for that field, then enter the value u want

If you followed the instructions here:
http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/perl.html

It should work correctly.

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 :(
