(About the author)
 
     This is a fairly nice guestbook. It includes a descent interface and allows you to configure many of the options online. It offers options such as to log the ip and send email to the owner upon recieving a message. You can limit how many guests per page. The guests can even select an option to have the comment invisible so only the owner can view it :)

All the neccisary files are included here. To see a demo:

http://microprose.hypermart.net/guestbook/config.html

The password is guestbook.

Most the options are configured for you. All you'll need to possibly change to run this is the location of the perl compiler. Other than that just stick it on your server and run it :)

Updated - Had a couple bugs. They are fixed.

Updated - I improved some of the security on it and also set it up so it reads off a template instead of having a hardcoded in setup. Just use the included template editor and you can set up how the info is displayed easily :)

Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them.

  1. Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
  2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.

If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net including:McAfee.com

Hmm whoever keeps changing the pw please stop. I have no problem with you trying it's features out but why do you need to change the pw? That just makes it so no one can try it.
