Very Newbie Install help

[Tamra Burgwardt <tamraburgwardt @ yahoo . com>]

I've read the README, FAQ, etc etc and even chapters out of a book on how to set up majordomo.  Call me a Luddite, but I don't see any instructions on how to write a wrapper or edit one that is there already and if that is the only thing I need to write.  I have uploaded all the files onto my server and there is apparently no install program that runs at that handy little doubleclick action like other software has.  Or, I could be not doing it right at all. 

 

I'm wondering a couple things:

 

1) Apparently there is no real install program that runs automatically, so I need to write an wrapper for the program to run under.  Having never done that before, is there one out there that I can copy and edit per the instructions?

 

2) I have also uploaded to my server, all the files for MajorCool and have not installed them yet either because I assume I need to install majordomo first.  But perhaps if I install that first it may set up my majordomo under it's scripts?  Dunno.  Thought I'd ask even if it does sound like a dumb question.

 

3) So assuming I can find a format for a wrapper and then edit it, what do I do then?  I know nothing about perl so I have no idea how to actually initiate the program.  As you can tell, I'm a tremendously inexperienced webmaster but I really want to learn this, so I hope someone out there will bear with my very basic newbie questions.  I do learn quickly though, once I have a place to start.

 

Thanks in advance!
