Contents:
admin.cgi: Administration script for adverts
banner.cgi: Banner rotation and logging script
advert.pl:  Perl library of common subroutines within the two .cgi scripts
ad_list.txt: List of adverts
pass.txt: File containing username and password
settings.txt: Settings file
<users> Directory containing account files
 	default.txt: Default account file
 	error_log: Error log
	Rob1234.txt: A demo account file
	Webfusion4321.txt: A demo account file

To get the things working:
It should be simple to set up the scripts and get them running.

1: Place the <users> directory and pass.txtx file in a directory that is not accessible from the Internet (e.g. not in the public_html directory)

2: In the two .cgi scripts, edit the top line so that they point to your version of Perl.  On my server it is #!/usr/local/bin/perl.

3: Follow commented instructions in the admin.cgi, banner.cgi and advert.pl files.

4: chmod 755 admin.cgi, banner.cgi and advert.pl, chmod 777 to ad_list.txt, pass.txt, settings.txt, users directory and its contents.

5: in index.htm point the server side include to the path of banner.cgi
e.g., in my system it would be :
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/banner.cgi"-->
Also, I have to have pages that include SSI named with the extension .shtm.


I think that is it.

Also, to login, 
     username = Rob
     password = Webfusion
you should change these asap.
