    Hi,

    I'm looking to install a 'textcat' language guesser script/s to my website (www.exigotranslations.com and www.listlanguage.com).

    I can get the scripts here: http://odur.let.rug.nl/vannoord/TextCat/

    but it only has two lines of instructions which I don't fully understand:

    Edit the text_cat script to have the first line point to your Perl binary. Edit the text_cat script to have $opt_d point to the LM directory.

    Can anyone give me a quote (US$) for editing the script and installing it on my two websites. Others have done this, see http://www.wolfestone.co.uk/language_identifier.php

    If you need any more info, get back too me.

    Thanks in advance.

    Usually the default perl binary is located at /usr/bin/perl. The first line should look like
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    Code (markup):
    . If you have shell access to your server you can type "which perl" and it should display the location of the perl binary.

    Hi,
    Thanks for that.
    I haven't really dealt with Perl or something like this before, so think it is well beyond me.

    Is this something you would be interested in, to take as a job (paid).

    The files can be downloaded at: http://odur.let.rug.nl/vannoord/TextCat/

    under the link: sources. It is a free and shared script.

    Thanks.
