Require help getting Extropia guestbook installed.

[Guest]

The perl version of Extropias guestbook is what my hosting company has
installed on their server so I figured I may as well try and add it to the website
I built for a friend. I'm at wits end though attempting to figure out how to
incorporate it into the site.

From what I read it seems that I must use their templates (either as is or modified)
for the header, left nav and footer. It would be a bit more convenient if one were
able to insert code, an include, etc into the page/template I alreday have but I'm not
sure if this is possible.

I'm just hoping to get a bit of insight from someone familiar with Extropia.

why are you asking here instead of your host who is supplying the script
or the authors of the script?

Osborne publishing has a book out, "Instant CGI/Perl" by Selena Sol,Gunther
Birznieks and Peter Chines. It's a huge 1000 page tome with a CD; it
covers the Extropia software exclusively. Found my copy at a used
bookstore. It has a 2001 copyright so it will probably not be right up to
date. Runs fifty bucks (U.S.) new. I've never actually used it -- decided
the whole suite looks a bit too bloated for my mimimalist taste, but the
software has a good reputation, IIRC.
