(RADIATOR) Question in <AuthBy EXTERNAL>

Hi Hugh,

If you look at godies/external.cfg, you will see he needs something like this:

		Command c:/perl/bin/perl ./goodies/testcommand.pl

DOS does not know how to interpret #!/usr/bin/perl so it cant run 
C:\Perl\bin\testcommand.pl without some cluues.

Cheers.
