Re: Trying to use old source code

yes this is from the same person that posted on stack overflow. I'm encountering more than a handful of errors. Almost seems some of the things in there aren't supported anymore. Like webinter for instance and the @@'s. I apologize for speaking in riddles. It wasn't my intention. I'm trying to wrap my head around the terminology as fast as I can. I tried running rockerv2.pl through perl as stated in win32how.txt in the doc section. Here's a link to the initial script I'm having problems with. https://sourceforge.net/p/rockserv/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/rockserv2/src/rockserv2.pl

Quite unsurprisingly, `webinter.pm` is distributed with the rest of `rockserv2.pl`, in the Source Forge directory. Maybe you can show us how you run the program, and what your file layout is, and maybe show us the exact error messages instead of paraphrasing what you think you are seeing? Then we can give you more concrete advice than just guessing at your environment and what problems you might encounter.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Please read and understand How do I post a question effectively?. You need to improve how you ask questions. Show what you tried (what you ran), how it failed (the result of what you tried). Link to things you reference properly (What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information?), make it easier for people to help you. Everything I linked to here is displayed each time you post.

Radude: Have you looked at doc/quickndirty-setup.txt? I've downloaded the code to peruse through it, and it looks like it's supposed to be the docs to help get you up and running. I've not tried installing it or anything, but if you follow that and then post any difficulties, we might be able to lend a hand. ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.
