Hi folks.<br /><br />My website is run from a perl based CMS script (Web-APP). It was sourceforge open code available to the public and it worked with the second most recent version of perl. However, with this latest update (to ver 5.8.1) it no longer works. I've been told that the entire script needed to be re-written to work with this new perl, as well as all the mods and hacks I have installed. Since I'm not a scripter, and all of this stuff was written on someone's spare time, I don't know how I'll be able to get it to work! <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> There's no way to re-install the older version of perl is there? Or maybe someone could hellp me work through these problems? I sure hope so because I have almost 150 registered members to my website. Anybody have any ideas??<br /><br />Thanks,<br />RH<!--content-->

Alan is right. I would just press the scriptmakers to get it compatible with the latest build of Perl.<!--content-->
