First of all, do any of your quests work ?
If they do not, then you have a problem with your Perl install. If Perl is not working, then your quests will not work. This only means you didn't follow instructions on install, and need to read again.

what name did you give to the NPC that's related to the perl file?

It seems to me, you want to do too much, too soon. If you are not familiar with Perl or MySql, you need to start by learning some of that first.

What database are you using?

[codyscafe7]

nope none of my quests work. I named the perl file after the npcs name firstname_lastname format. Ill try re-installing perl and see if that will work. I tried using your database and peq database. ill re-install perl right now.

[codyscafe7]

I re-installed pearl but it still doesnt work. I noticed that the .pl files changed into like a ghecko thing. Before that they had a notepad icon. I thought that had fixed it but when i started my server and logged in the hail button still didnt work. Whats wrong with my server, i dont see any other people with this problem. Is it just me?

Maybe you should paste all the output from the zone bootup here so people can get an idea of what your server is doing.

Do you mean you have perl installed and it doesn't work for EqEmu, or it doesn't work at all?
here's a test:
Can you run a command window , type in "perl" and hit enter key , what happens? do you get a "perl is not reconized ... (etc)" error?
In that same command window, type in PATH and hit enter - do you see something like "C:\Perl\bin" in there?
If Perl is not in the path, then you need to re-install and make sure you select that option. also try and change the path and install to "C:\Perl\bin", as that is how it originally was with EqEmu.

[codyscafe7]

When i typed that in nothing happens it just goes to the next line and doesnt say anything. I tried re-installing perl, the quest still dont work and when i type those commands in on the command prompt nothing happens, no errors or anything. Is this just me?

[Darkonig]

when testing perl setup, type perl --version
that should display a bunch of text which basically verifies perl is present and available.

Next, What version of the emulator are you using? Are you using the downloaded binaries or did you compile it yourself?

[mwmdragon]

Please make sure you leave 2 blank lines after the code in your quests, it will make it so the quests work.

If this doesn't work... then at least i tried

PS. i miss playing EQ classic with the tons of players liek live used to have :(

Your Perl is working, EqEmu just can't find it - what about your path? Type PATH and hit enter in a command shell

[codyscafe7]

here is what it says when i type in PATH.
