Change the first line of countdown.cgi to the location of PERL on your system.
in the default config it has
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

#!/usr/bin/perl

If you forget, we also list it in the errors section of the Website FAQ.

Have you checked out our webspace faq yet? Like Edge mentioned previously, we list the most common errors at the bottom:

If it's none of the things covered in the FAQ, unfortunately that means it's most likely a bug in the script.

When uploading, you must use ASCII mode otherwise the end-of-line markers may be invalid and the script will fail.

You must set the access rights of the script file and the directory to 755.

Once its properly installed and setup, try http://nba1341.nuclearfallout.net/unico ... &create=23

If it is working correctly, the returned value should read document.write('23')

I got that from the author's site. more info you can read here

If after doing what that site says, it still doesn't work, then like Edge said, its buggy. Hope that helps
