Hi Jame (of 1:120/544),

Tripod's perl ignores the #! path specified at the beginning of the perl
script.  They say that the "system" resolves the necessary path
for all the perl resources.  :((((  Ya.. sure.

My first reply from Tripod tech support was an actual person who gave me
the "clue" to use the specific path in my script.  But when I
wrote back to tech-help to report that the "clue" didn't work, I
got a canned system form letter pointing me to OUTSIDE (nonTripod) cgi
resources!

So..  I haven't gotten very far with implementing eventcalendar.pl    

Meanwhile I built my calendar from scratch.  :(((   Took me the better part
of a day to finish.  See http://the-bridge-church.tripod.com, then ENTER,
then look for NIKAO in the left menu, then look for "event
calendar" in the main window.

Nermware's eventcalendar would have made the job SO much easier!
