Someone Help Please??

I am trying to configure the Free Link Page to work on my page. My provider supports PERL and the path to it is:
/usr/local/bin/perl5
When I configure it myself I get an error that says ive misconfigured something. Ive tried everything and cant get it to work.. My files are stores in http://bengal.missouri.edu/~rlw989/ Here are the lines to my configuration code:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl5

# url of script
$cgiurl = "http://bengal.missouri.edu/~rlw989/cgi-bin/links.pl";

# base url to all link files without trailing "/"
$link_url = "http://bengal.missouri.edu/~rlw989/links";

# base directory to all link files from the server root without trailing "/"
$base_dir = "http://bengal.missouri.edu/~rlw989/links";

# default index page of your choice
$index_url = "/links/ffa_business.html";

# counter log file
$id_count = "/links/links_id.txt";

Can someone tell me what im doing wrong??? Thanks

This is where your error is. It wants the full path to your files. Not the URL.

# base directory to all link files from the server root without trailing "/"
$base_dir = "http://bengal.missouri.edu/~rlw989/links";

Mine is something like this:

$base_dir = "/web/sites/111/sambrown/www.boathouse.co.uk/links";

I went into my FTP program and this is the path it shows to my links directory: /users/9/rlw989/www/links. I put that in and I get an error page saying there is a misconfiguration. Everything else is as is in my previous post. The path to PERL is what my provider gave me.

Only other thing I can see on my configuration is that I have full URL to the default index page. Like so:

# default index page of your choice
$index_url= "http://bengal.missouri.edu/~rlw989/links/ffa_business.html";
Other than that I don't know.
