Introduction

The Purpose of this Perl script is to convert a Netscape bookmarks file on the fly to a friendly webtree simulation. This program has to be run as a CGI to do it's work ... Check the example on http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/cgi-bin/tlbmp to get the idea.

Download

Installation

  1. make sure the first line of the file points to your copy of perl-5
  2. Edit the Configuration Parameters at the start of the file.
  3. Maybe change the disclaimer
  4. DO NOT remove the TLBMP-Banner

Trick

Mozilla makes bookmark files only readable by the owner of the file. So for smooth operation, it is best to have suexec or cgiwrapper to execute tlbmp under the UID of the person who owns the mozilla bookmarks file.
