I'm not sure about perl scripts, but other script types usually require some of the following: Being readable and executable. You entering the path to the script to run, rather than just the name. e.g. /home/tim/runme or ./runme Or putting the script into a ~/bin/ directory that's in your path (then you don't have to enter the path). The start of the script having a shebang line saying what's supposed to run the script. e.g. #!/usr/bin/perl > All this script does is go up to everydns.net and make sure that my > web server address always refers to my ip through A records. Thanks > for the help. Perhaps a script like that shouldn't be run from the homespace. You'd normally have a server running all the time, so it'd be some form of daemon or cron job. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
