Maybe re-check everything:

[u]The links.pl file:[/u]
[list]Find out if your host requires using .cgi instead of .pl and, if necessary, substitute that extension.

Make sure you have links.pl (or links.cgi) in your official cgi-bin directory that came with your hosting plan and its [b]permissions are set to 755[/b]. Also make sure the first line of that file has the [b]correct path to Perl[/b]. Usually /usr/bin/perl, but yours might be different. Check with your host, or it may be shown in CPanel.

Change the info on lines 17 thru 27 in the links.pl (or links.cgi) file to match your site info. Instead of "localhost" use the exact address:

[code]# url of script
$cgiurl = "http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/links.pl";

# base url to all link files without trailing "/"
$link_url = "http://www.yoursite.com/links";

# base directory to all link files from the server root without trailing "/"
$base_dir = "/home/username/public_html/links";

# default index page of your choice
$index_url = "http://www.yoursite.com/links/ffa-business.html";[/code]

Change the password on line 33 to whatever you want:
[code]# administration password
$admin_pass = "123";[/code]
[/list]
All of the other files should be in their own directory called links.

In addlink.html, change line 93 to show the correct location for your links.pl (or links.cgi) file. Again, use the exact address instead of "localhost":

[code]
