You're on a shared server with roughly 900 other domains. I don't think any of them would appreciate a reboot!

well i am trying to run YaBB forums and i am getting to a setup.pl file, and i can get to the first page fine but when i try to go to the next page my browser tries to download the file. i looked and installed all the perl modules needed for the .pl files but still does the same thing.

any thoughts?

did you make sure the file has the correct permissions to be executed by you? make sure it's got 755 permissions. default for files is 644 (therefor read only by you)..

If it is just a script with no user input, you could try having a cron job run it, or ssh and run it from there.. If it does require input.. You could try editing it and removing all of the inputs and simply put in the correct information for your install.. that would require a little bit of experience with perl though, but it sounds like you have that, if you have installed extensions on the server.
