Hi...me again. I ran the SQL changes, no problems there (although the spam table isn't showing up on the database...any idea why? Is this required?)

Anyways, made the modifications to the newnews.pl file, uploaded to the cgi-bin directory (I don't believe my web host will allow to execute scripts outside of CGI-BIN), chmodded it to 755. Now I'm getting an Internal server error when I run the script from my browser.

I updated the first line of the script to my local path to perl (I know this works because I had UBB up and running before vbulletin, and I just copied that from the cgi script that was working). The only question in my mind is the following line in newnews.pl:

#use lib "/[path.to.your.local.perl.directory]/perl5/site_perl/5.005";

What is the proper syntax for this line? Could this be causing the internal server 500 error I'm seeing? My path to perl is #!/usr/bin/perl

Another question...why are there two newnews.pl files in the distribution? Which should I be using? The one in the Rcs folder looks different than the other one (header information) so I assumed that wasn't the correct one.

Thanks in advance!
