Re: a question about perl scripts

Hi Tim,

I ended up putting it /usr/bin and got it set up today.

Which bin?  For personal stuff, putting scripts in ~/bin/ is often
appropriate.  For *system* stuff, that'd normally be /bin/.  For
applications, something like /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/.  If it's
called from a cron script, it could be run from almost anywhere, so long
as the cron script calls it by the full path.  I'd expect their script
to give you information about where to put it, if it needed putting
somewhere in particular.

I have something similar for the No-IP service.  It's a script (run
from /usr/local/bin/noip2) which you start running from somewhere (such
as /etc/rc.local), and it periodically checks for changes to your IP, by
itself.
