+mp-form.pl - Send magic packets with your web server
+
+This is my trial of waking up PCs with a form via web server. 
+The perl script reads in a text file which contains lines of the form
+aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff 12.34.56.78 or
+aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff foo.bar.com
+aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
+The script is based on wake.pl by Ken Yap who is also the author of the Etherboot package. 
+The script uses CGI.pm to parse form input and Socket.pm to send the magic packets, both 
+modules should belong to your perl distribution. The script runs with linux as well as 
+with NT, with NetWare you have to use the Socket.NLP from recent Perl build #334, with 
+Perl build #333 and earlier I got an error from the Socket.pm.
+This script uses only broadcast so you don't need root rights to use it.
+
+To install the script copy it to your ../cgi-bin directory. Then for Linux do a chmod 755 
+to the script. Modify the lines which point to the location of the maclist. If you do not 
+have a maclist, the form could save new entries to a list (with unix perhaps you have to 
+create an empty file). Check also the first line of mp-form.pl and modify it to point to 
+your perl5 location. For NetWare copy the script to /novonyx/suitespot/docs/perlroot.
+
+Older version: If you have problems running the script with CGI.pm you could try the older 
+version mp-form1.pl which uses cgi-lib.pl to parse form input. You can get cgi-lib.pl 
+from http://cgi-lib.berkeley.edu/. With NetWare you should also use mp-form1.pl as using 
+CGI.pm consumes much memory. The older version is also included in the zip archive.
