I am very new to working with Perl or anything to do with setting up a web site so I'm was hoping someone could help with this: I have a web site that I was trying to add a shopping cart for the 1200 items we have and I came across Perl's PayPal shopping cart script which seems to easier then putting a cart script on every items. So I did what its say's to do in the instructions "Quick install: # edit the $business_email variable # upload the script and products.txt to the same FTP directory" That being said after I upload it, I view it in my control panel of my domain host ( 0web-hosting ) and I get these CGI Script Error: http://$server $server The requested URL $REQUEST_URI returned the following error message $item I get this if I say my file as a .txt or .cgi I also tried and loaded Perl's zip file in there download area and uploaded them with there txt file and still got the same error When I go to www.".com/cart".cgi I get "You are not authorized to view this page" or "Sorry, no matching search listings were found" I am using unix hosting and they tell me this "You may use this directory to execute any cgi-script you write or ones that are already pre-written for you. The directory is specially designed for scripts that end in *.pl, and *.cgi. They will execute from the directory within your web space." Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks,

Yes I have to have it in cgi-bin file and I have check marks in front of read/write/execute.

I did that before I posted my first post
