Software Configuration
Just open the perl script on any text editor like notepad. Then make necessary changes to the following variables. Start from the top of the page.

Perl Location
Default value: #!/usr/bin/perl

Generally this is the location in almost all servers. In some cases this may be; #!/usr/sbin/perl

If you are not sure, verify it with your server administrator then make necessary changes. Please don't remove the '#' sign at the beginning. You don't have to change the default value if the script works properly. You can skip to next step.

Location Of SendMail Program
Default value: /usr/lib/sendmail

In some cases this may be; /usr/sbin/sendmail

You don't have to change the default value if the script works properly. If it doesn't work, please contact your server administrator and ask the location of sendmail program.

Authorization Code
A 10 characters code to verify whether the buyer is paid.

$AuthCode = "Zb34Ri9jW4";

You can type anything instead of the default value "Zb34Ri9jW4". Use a combination of alphabets in Upper and Lower cases with numbers to make it difficult for people to guess.

Example: $AuthCode = "Qb74Ji4jW2";

Important: You have to write down this Code in a safe place. When you assign the location of 'Thank-You Page' in ClickBank's control panel, you need to mention this code. More explanation follows.

Enter Your Email Address
$EmailAddress = "email\@coralpalms.com";
Note: Please Don't remove the '\' before the '@' sign.
Example: $EmailAddress = "software\@coralpalms.com";

Enter your Name
$YourName = "coral palms";

Enter Name Of Your Company/Firm/Website
$Company = "coral palms";

Name Of Your Product
$Product = "affordable software with master resell rights";

Product Pricing
$Price = "\$19.95";
Note: The '\' is Required before the '$' sign.

Download Page URL
$DownloadURL = "http://www.YourSite.com/download/download.html";

The Buyer will be forwarded to this URL to download your product. You can specify direct Link to an HTML page that contain links to each product. If you provide only one item, give direct link to that product in EXE or ZIP format. If it is a PDF document, I advice you to zip it and provide that link. I suggest you not to name your download page simply 'download.html.' Name it something like Dload342xy.html or something difficult to hackers.

Whether To Activate Autoresponder
$AutoResponder = 0;

If you want to add the buyer into your autoresponder, Change the value to 1 (one). Otherwise keep the Default value 0 (zero). Autoresponder system will start sending follow-up emails to promote your other products, software, etc.

Your Autoresponder Email Address
Keep default value if you don't have one.

$AutoAddress = "autoresponder\@coralpalms.com";
Examples:- software\@coralpalms.com, software1\@coralpalms.com
Note:- The '\' is Required before the '@' sign. If you don't use this facility, just leave this field blank as follows: $AutoAddress = " ";

Whether to send you a Sales Report for each sale.
$SalesReport = 1;

If you want the sales report for each sales, keep the default value 1. Sales report will contain Buyer's name, email, IP address, item purchased, price etc.

Change it to 0 (zero) if you do not want sales report.

URL Of The Script
$scriptURL = "http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/thanks.cgi";

This will be the URL of your modified script (Thank-You Page script). You have to specify it's here. Your thank-You page script must have a .cgi extension and to be uploaded to your server to this location on your server.

Example: If you entered http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/thanks.cgi on this field, you must save the script as thanks.cgi and to be uploade to http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/ directory. For security reasons, I advice you not to name your script simply 'thanks.cgi.' Name it some thing like thank342xy.cgi or something. When you save the file, some times it will save the file as thanks.cgi.txt insted of thanks.cgi In that case, your have to rename it.

Uploading This Script To Your Server
Upload the modified script to your server into a directory that is allowed to run Perl CGI programs ( Generally /cgi-bin/ ) as ASCII (PLAIN TEXT) Mode. If you uploaded in Binary mode by mistake, it will not work. Set CHMOD (global execute permissions) to 755. If you don't find cgi-bin directory, ask your server administrator to create one for you.

Make Changes In ClickBank Control Panel
This is the last and the most important step. As you know, the URL of this script will be the URL of your "Thank You page". Login to ClickBank with your user ID and password and make a simple change there. In your ClickBank Control Panel, just type the URL of this script as Thank-You Page as follows: http://www.YourSite.com/cgi-bin/thanks.cgi?auth=Zb34Ri9jW4 the last part ?auth=Zb34Ri9jW4 is very important.

Remember- the 'auth' value should be the same one we have given in the script. This value must me same in both places. When this value forwarded to the script, it assumes that the buyer is already paid. This system is to protect your product from unauthorized downloads.

Testing The Script
After you uploaded the script and Download page you have to verify whether it works properly.

Just type the URL of the script in your browser. It will display a message saying "You are not authorized to access this script." If you got this message with your contact details at the bottom, your script works perfectly.

Now, try to access it through clickbank. Just make a $0.00 purchase and you will be forwarded to your script. You can see a page with order details etc. Just type your REAL Name and Email as your Buyers do. You should type your own details, Click on 'Continue' button. then you will be forwarded to the download page. Check your Inbox to make sure that you have received a sales report and a 'Thank you' message. Also you have to verify whether the given name and email address has added to your Autoresponder system.
