I am trying to understand how to make a high score board work.

The game is here - http://www.vexing.org/whack

There are two perl scripts, one to get the high scores from a text file and one to write to the text file.

My server supports perl and I have the scripts in my /cgi-bin folder while the game and the highscore.txt file are in a folder off the root called /whack.

The permissions on both perl scripts and the text file are set to 755.

I suspect I don't have the paths correct in the perl scripts or in the flash file.

The fla (MX format but only needs published as Flash 5)and the perl are in ftp://vexing.org/pub/whackafox.zip

I got this straight from a Flash 5 games book but there is no help with server side issues.

Thanks,
