ok so i was setting up a guest book for my sis's site www.saintamourmusic.com and im having trouble what is "The system location " heres the context..
------------------------------------------------
This is the Perl script that actually writes new entries to files and returns the entry to the user. This file will need to be placed in the cgi-bin of your server and chmoded to a+rx. There are a few things that need to be changed in this file:

Set Variables

$guestbookurl
The url address of your guestbook.html file.

$guestbookreal
The system location of your guestbook.html file.

$guestlog
The system location of your guestlog.html file.

$cgiurl
The url portion of the address to the guestbook.pl file The file guestbook.pl needs to be placed in your server's cgi-bin and chmoded read/execute for users of your httpd. (chmod a+rx)
------------------------------------------------

i have no prob with setting the urls but i dont know what it wants with the system location. i tried just typing in the file name and tried public files/guestbook.html. but those are obviously not right and i still cant get the guestbook to work. so if any one can help itd be much appreciated.
i got the guest book at http://www.scriptarchive.com/guestbook.html

since i cant get that to work i have a hacked free guestbook right now set up the prob is it randomly has pop-up ads so if no one can help with the other part do you know of a script that will kill pop-ups on your page?
