Default Guestbook

I've decided that I would like a guestbook on my site. I googled "guestbook script" and found that Matt Wright's guestbook script is highly recommended. So I've decided to take a stab at this and even though he seems to explain things really well, I'm still very confused on a few things and this might turn into a long process with a lot of questions.

I guess I will start with this chmod thing. Matt says, "The file guestbook.pl needs to be placed in your server's cgi-bin and chmoded read/execute for users of your httpd. (chmod a+rx)." I've got the placing it into the cgi-bin part down :wink: but, I don't have UNIX. How can I get around using chmod or what do I need to do in order to get it to work?

I really appreciate you taking time to explain this :)

Amie
