Once you have written your script you must create a subdirectory called scripts in your directory on the server, and place your script there. Your scripts will not be instantly executable as the permission must be set up. To do this email a request to E2 HELP

A common problem with scripts is the path with which you call them - please check the E2 support pages - www.e2.u-net.com , for more information on scripts and their usage. Scripts are the customers responsibility and you must have thoroughly tested them in your local environment before asking us to make them executable. Perl is available for both the PC and Macintosh

We ask that your scripts are written in Perl (practical extraction and report language). There are many Perl resources available on the web. We do not support C as we do not give the Telnet access to the server that would be required for compilation. Telnet access is denied because it can lead to users developing scripts on the server and hence potentially crashing it to the detriment of other users, and may also pose a security risk to other sites. Three scripts are currently provided for customers use. They are form to email, email and counter. We also provide configurable scripts to for counters (domained customers only), guestbooks and simple searches.

Our servers are also fully Javascript compatible.
