After the few seconds wait on the install. I get an error:

use strict;
use lib $ENV{MT_HOME} ? "$ENV{MT_HOME}/lib" : 'lib';
use MT::Bootstrap App => 'MT::App::CMS';
I don't know how to get past this or fix it. Looking for advise.
If it's any help to you helping me. My cgi-bin lives outside of the web document root. I use NetworkSolutions.
Thanks in advance.
If you see the Perl code displayed as plain text, then that means that it's not able to execute. You need to talk to their support about that.
Ok, I have the path from my host. My path to perl is different: /usr/local/bin/perl. How do I change it to get movable type to work on the login screen?
Change that first line in every CGI file.
Not sure I'm understading correctly. For example I would change the filed named 'mt.cgi' to '/usr/local/bin/perl/mt.cgi'?
No, you would open the file mt.cgi and change /usr/bin/perl to /usr/local/bin/perl. You can do that with Notepad in Windows and then upload the changes if that is more comfortable for you.
Great thanks. Next problem. Now when I click on "Log in to Movable Type" button. I get a pop in Windows asking me if I want to open or save this file?
Name: mt.cgi
Type: cgi_auto_file, 329 bytes
Of course none of the options do anything useful.
Well, that means you need to talk to your host about whether or not you have MT installed in a directory where cgi scripts can run.
