Problems with CGI guestbook script

by willmcneice . Updated 16 years, 9 months ago

Hi,

I have been trying to use the script that I found here:

http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-22_11-5076796.html

to create a guestbook, but have been having trouble getting it to work.

When I enter some details, it takes me to a blank page, and when I run it through a perl debugger it comes up with this error:
Unrecognized character \xC2 at /html/cgi-bin/guestbook.cgi line 9.

I can’t find any of this at line 9, or anywhere in the script.

Can anyone help me? I feel like this is a really nice script, if it works. It’s nice and simple, and would be so much easier than the enormous php scripts I’ve found, which do work, but would require a lot of effort to integrate.

Thanks,
Will.
