Requirements

PerlDiver requires the following modules to be installed.

• CGI *
• File::Find *
• Config *
• Module::Info **
• Pod::Html2 **

* Included in the standard Perl distribution

** Distributed with PerlDiver

Installation

PerlDiver is installed simply by unzipping and uploading all files in the distribution into your cgi-bin directory. If you don't know where your cgi-bin directory is, please ask your system administrator. Be sure to upload all files in ASCII format.

After the files are uploaded, perldiver.cgi needs to have execute permissions turned on. You can do this by running the command chmod +x perldiver.cgi from your command line. If you don't have command line access to your web server, then there will probably be an equivalent function in your file transfer program.

The directory where perldiver.cgi lives in also needs to have write permissions. You can do this by running the command chmod +w perldiver.cgi from your command line.
