It actually works!  E-Blah on an Apple LC475 web server running at 33MHz.  Sure it crawls but, at closer to 60 then I care to admit , I'm not too fast either.   My web server was pretty static and didn't offer much interaction.  It's mainly just frequented by friends and family and E-Blah is  going to allow  us to interact with each other better then e-mail.  Where e-mail is like a telephone call.  E-Blah is like a conference call.  I tried YaBB but I have problems with MD5 and I couldn't even login to set it up.  E-Blah had the same problem but MD5 isn't actually required to get it working.  I had to change the Administrator  password manually, and I imagine encrypting passwords wont work.  Ok, here are the problems I had getting it all working:

NetBSD for the Mac68K doesn't include Perl. I had to install it from source.
MD5 is a module not included in the perl.  I had to install it, but doesn't work yet.  Something about Digest::MD5 not found  (However the error shows the correct path to MD5.pm so I'm stumped). permissions?
Calendar didn't work.  Searched these forums and found a fix. Replaced Calendar.pl with older version.

Anyway,  I tip my hat to Justin!  Well done!

Wow, very nice.  

To get MD5 working, run the command:

"perl -MCPAN -e shell"

That module should be in Perl by default.  You'll have to answer a slew of questions, but afterwords you'll be taken to the prompt where you can install the MD5 module, which will also download all of the dependencies.


I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.
