Spent some time wondering why my cgi-bin directory kept getting deleted until I realized Frontpage 2000 was deleting it because the directory did not exist on my system. Spent some time determining my script kept getting errors until I figured out that Frontpage 2000 was uploading the Perl files in binary mode. Learned about protections on files and set Perl files to appropriate levels. Scripts worked great Spent more time figuring out why scripts stopped working - Frontpage 2000 again. Decided to manually load my web pages with FTP instead of using Frontpage ever again.
Script now works great, four rings defined and adding new members.
Modified options to allow others to create their own rings. Even with the Frontpage 2000 errors, the entire process took about 4 hours. Subtracting the Frontpage mess means it all took less than an hour to install and set up. Your ring navigation will be as fast as your host. Your search engine rankings will go up.
