## Installation Instructions:
##
## ftp pod.cgi into your cgi-bin directory.
## set permissions for pod.cgi (For unix this should be 0755)
##
## Check with your webmaster that your web server has GET and POST
## allowed.
##
## Note that when you download the footer and header files,
## that they may have the extension .txt -- Change this to .html
## You may also have to change pod to pod.cgi and podvars to podvars.pm
##
## Note that you need to have the following perl modules and libraries
## installed or this script doesn't work:
##     CGI, LWP, URI, HTTP, Fcntl
## Ask your system administrator or Webmaster to install these if they
## don't already exist on your system. The nature of perl is that you
## use pre-existing libraries as much as possible; they are quick and
## painless to install on any system. Download them from http://www.cpan.org
##
## I regret I cannot help with installing perl module son your system.
##
## Edit podvars.pm and change the following variables:
##
## $cgi-url - set to the path to your cgi-bin (ensure forward slash on end)
## $logging - set to 1 if you want to log searches 0 if you dont.

##
## The below automated book-linking feature requires 2 things:
##     1. You have access to or have installed the MaxComm script 
##     2. You have an Amazon Associates ID
## If you do not have both of these, then leave $whichamazon alone.

##                or set to "" to turn off this feature
