I looked at the web cal demo a year or so ago and decided it would be 
perfect for our K-12 school.
I've worked at trying to install it, off and on, ever since and now I've 
confused myself so much I seem to be overlooking minor things.

I'm trying to implement it on a new SUSE (novell) box.

Here is what I've done.

1.  Downloaded the tar and unzipped it to the /srv/www/ directory
2.  Started editing the install.pl file
    I don't understand how to configure this file.
    Does the install create some of the directories such as webcal or 
wcal (I'm comparing with the redhat 7.2 install.pl) or do I need to 
rename the extracted webcal2.x.x directory to whatever I put here.
    Do the .pl files need to be put into the cgi dir of /srv/www/ or do 
they stay in the webcal2.x.x directory?
    I also see the install.pl default looking for wcal.pl in the command 
$CGINAME="$CGIDIR/wcal.pl but I don't see that file in my directory, I 
see webcal.pl
Do I need to make those changes also?

I'm really frustrated because this kind of thing usually doesn't stump 
me but I'm a newbie in this area.  Any help would be appreciated.
