I'm ready to jump: PERL Links script

So I found this links script - it's not FFAL so its not a simple script but it's a good one from what I can tell.

Problem is I do NOT Have much PERL knowledge - and even though I followed the instructions I am LOST. It won't bloody work.

If anyone is feeling very generous I need 2 of the script pages looked over - I get the feeling that the problem lies in the links to the files themselves (so that is all I have posted). It is a script for a UNIX server but I 'think' I modified it so it will run on a windows server.


script:
(yes I have checked the permissions)

# badlinks4.dat - send when you chose to Delete a link
# File name prefix for bad email files of this type:

can anyone see a problem with the way I have written the locations?

Thanks in advance guys xxx
