CGI Directory Script

[AuthorityDomain]

I recently brought a domain on auction that has some history. The site was using what appears to be like some CGI directory script/software.

Does anyone know of any CGI directory scripts?

Thanks
Gary

Here is a site I found with what appears to be the same script
http://www.finder.ie/

I know its a bit dated and not best looking but want to put the new site up with as little effort as possible, its already got age and pagerank with links to it

Anyone help or have this software?

$450!!! I'm sure it used to be free! Probably better off with phpld.

Yes I don't want to pay more than I need to. Just wanted to keep the same structure as the archive

Will look into it

Cheers

It looks to me like Powerseek:
http://www.powerseek.net/

A sample Powerseek directory:
http://www.marylandpet.com/

Seems to have the same url structure as finder.ie

I'm pretty sure it's gossamer. That .ie site is using the flat file version which is free here (links 2.0):

Cheers Grant, Yes I think you're right it looks more like gossamer

I will download links 2.0 and see if it helps

Thanks

CGI and Pearl like learning a whole new (dated) language. Not easy to setup, struggling to find any decent tutorials too and the readme is useless! I might end up going with phpld instead

Blimey, I remember using that years ago, it was good for the time.

I wouldn't bother with CGI, use PHP/MySQL instead, superior.

Cheers think I will. It was just to try and keep the same structure as before as can't be bothered messing around with loads of 301s

Cheers
