.pl is an extension that means Perl is the language it's written in.

The shebang (#!/usr/bin/perl) tells the server where to find the language to use to understand the script. If that language is not on the server, there is no way for that path to be correct.

Since even the cheapest Windows server package at Hostway has Perl installed, apparently (did you look on their website?) you can contact the host for the correct path to Perl.

Actually the script I downloaded was "bizmail.pl" . . .

Excuse my ignorance, but that is why it has "#!/usr/bin/perl, "make sure the path to pearl is correct above."

The woman is using Hostway.com. . .

Well if it isn't, you're going to have to do more than point the files somewhere. Formmail is written in Perl. It won't work without that language on the server.

Is Perl installed on the new server?
