At the online meeting the other day, Karen mentioned she was going to set up a TWiki for her church website. My first reaction was that that wouldn't really be quite right for what my church needed, but it got me thinking-- and I figured out that it probably would make a bunch of things easier for me. So, I spent a good fraction of the weekend getting TWiki set up and running. I did this all on my computer, where I run a web server so that I can develop and test locally. Having things set up more or less the way I wanted them so that I could get started on the site for real, I started uploading things. Running the test script, I found out that the 1998-era Perl that the server (which is donated space) is running is *not* compatable with TWiki... :( I'm very frusturated at the moment, because I've blown a bunch of time on this, *and* it looks like I'm going to have to go back to square 1. (I just figured this was a good place to vent, since I know there are Wiki-enabled people around here.) -Rob -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Game(s): Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners/

So install a different version of Perl elsewhere. We run at least two versions here; one in usr/bin and one (more current) in usr/local/bin. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Game(s): The Whole Phoenyx Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners/

(Actually, truth to tell, were it my own system I'd probably have to go through hoops if for whaever reason I needed a perl that *old*.) However, this is a web host sort of setup where access amounts to an ftp server. I have in the past run my own perl in my own user account on various Unix machines, so that I could have one up to date, but I'd hate to think of trying to do all that compiling and installing without shell access.... It probably *could* be done, with a cleverly written CGI script, but it would be more pain than it was worth. -Rob -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Game(s): Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners/
