Do you have telnet access? Move to the directory with the cgi in it.
echo $PWD
That will tell you the current directory. Or look in the directory location of your ftp client. That should be the server "path".
I am sure there is a lot people in here willing to help you. But the private way is not recommended since all could benefit from the answers.
If I get you well you have difficulties installing a PERL script to a remote server and the configuring requires you a full path of server.
questions.
What server platform is it? (windows or UNIX?)
Do you have acess to error log files?
Till I hear from you

<?php phpinfo() ?>

Sorry, didn't want to do this on the sly. Thought it was too trivial for most viewers here (I truly feel like a dork).
Whether I have access to error log files? I suppose you mean the log files for this particular app? Well, I don't know (and now I'm getting all scarlet).
Slade:
I'm sure you mean well. But you'll have to talk to me as you're talking to a two-year old.
Anyways: I have uploaded screen shots from the config page with the four boxes that have to be filled out. Go to [weazeldicks.au.com...]
Check it out, and perhaps you understand...

Excuse my English, still having free lessons here, :)
Welcome to WMW this place is for all of us, I also feel like a dork for some issues here, so don't turn scarlet yet. I believe You get some ftp acces for your remote server?
Wath software do you use to tansfer files to this server?
Stick to what john316 wrote you. He beat me on speed. If any questions, do not hesitate.
Hope to see you soon again.
Macguru:
Yes, I have FTP access.
I'm using either Fetch or Transmit for single files, and DW4 when I'm synchronizing...
On Mac...

So in the server www root level of fetch do you see any folder named "stats", "logfiles" or something related?
If any, you will have error log files wich are plain text documents. Download it, open it and for some server errors you will get the full server path. It will look like this:
[12/Sep/2001:02:43:56] warning ( 8358): for host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX trying to GET /XXX.htm, send-file reports: can't find "/XXX/XXX/XXX/XXX/XXX.htm (File not found) The stuff in bold is your full path name minus root or cgi-bin.
I'd be surprised if that info helps.
This morning (in Sweden) I mailed the hosts techs. But since they're in Australia, the time difference makes correspondence very slow.
However, if you like to check in to this directly (accessing the FTP), I'm not afraid of giving you the pass/log.
But since I don't want to have that in public, mail me at vendel@vendelcommunications.com

When uploading in non-ASCII mode, I get this:
Error 500 Internal Server Error
When changing to .cgi, I also get:
