 Hi!
     Currently you get:
"You are getting this error because:
There is no index.html file or You do not have the proper access permissions"
They have had this problem before and it has usually been cleared up in a day 
or so....
The big problems with netfirms is as some have pointed out, is that their 
sendmail thingy doesnt work and that their dingbat support staff have a great 
fondness for curt 2 or 3 word replies that don't tell you anything!? :-(
It is certainly not a Perl error, but a Netfirms error, an error which is for 
some reason fairly common with these so called free servers. 
I am also using ovh.org, which is even more fun than netfirms seeing that 
I have to use french when contacting their charming support team! 
 "Le maudit sendmail ne marche pas et ....&%^$#!" :o(
Netfirms and ovh are certainly interested in Ringlink! Maybe they are going 
to host a Ringlink system of their own....and are just knocking off the 
competition by driving us nuts...??
