I would like to install a UBB forum on my Mac OS X 10.1.4 (client) machine.
I have choosen the UBB classic (trial - for now) version. Downloaded it and placed all the files where they should be (at least I think so)

I'm using the /Library/WebServer

The Big problem is that I can only get it to work if I add the (taint mode) -T at the end of the perl-path (/usr/bin/perl -T)
If I don't , none of the UBB cgi's work (hello.cgi, ubb6_test.cgi, cp.cgi etc.)

when this is done hello and ubb6_test works fine and cp.cgi opens as it should, but when I try to configure it gives me the following error:

Software error:
Insecure dependency in chmod while running with -T switch at /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/ubb_setup.cgi line 35.

Obviously it is the taint command that screws things up, but how can I avoid it? Why won't it work wihout it???

Please help, I would really like to start up a music forum of my own!

(btw, I have checked out the UBB troubleshooting forums and found this thread <a href="http://community.infopop.net/2/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=729094322&f=4683039313&m=4003087644" target="_blank">http://community.infopop.net/2/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=729094322&f=4683039313&m=4003087644</a> but no solution... :( )

Ah...come on! Someone must know something.

I thought AppleInsider was run on Mac OS X, so it must be possible - or maybe only on the server version?

Why is taint mode needed?
