Re: Question re Manual Install

Mark / Earl,

I have successfully run MHonArc on a shared web hosting account for 
several years.

I have to say that I think Earl is kind of exaggerating the 
difficulties. When you install a Perl script on such an account, you 
simply extract the zip file on the hard disk of your PC, do the 
necessary editing (in this case according to the manual install 
instructions), and upload the files.

As regards invoking the program, I'm using a simple CGI script (which 
btw includes a part, that adds the ability to grab the mails from any 
POP3 account, and which Earl helped me with ;-). See 
http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/mhonarc-users/2002-05/msg00014.html

If I were Mark, I'd go for the original plan. Feel free to use my little 
script, if you like. I'm ready to answer a question or two if you need it.

/ Gunnar
