I am trying to install a perl based forum on my website and I m having absolutely NO luck. I ve contacted my host to make sure that my server supports perl...and it does. But- everytime I try to point my browser to my install file (Install.pl) I only get the option to download the file. I am supposed to- at that point- see a setup screen. After much trying and frustration- I contacted my host again and they told me to use the program Putty to SSH the Install.pl file. So- now- I ve downloaded Putty and am wondering what to do next...any ideas?
