I am assuming you didn't write the script.

a *.pl is a perl file and needs to be in the public_html/cgi-bin to run. You also need to set the permissions on it to 755.

I don't believe you can run .bat files on a server...

the .bat doesn't mather , because the perl file can be run...
they do the same funcion...
my english is not soo good! :lockd:

The batch file would be used to initiate the perl script, and yes wouldn't then be needed on a linux server.
