Hey everyone! I figured you all could benefit from this information. So enjoy and send feedback to

Beyond Compare, a file comparison tool, is what I use when upgrading UBB™.
It allows you to compare two files against each other. In my case, hacked file and new file! www.scootersoftware.com

AdminFTP is the best online debugging tool i ever saw before. It checks the perl/cgi script
for online debugging! Its free, so no worries about price. http://www.craigrichards.com/software/

Here's some good FTP programs for uploading Perl/CGI/PHP/ASP/text scripts.

CuteFTP: www.cuteftp.com
WS_FTP LE: www.ipswitch.com

Hint: Download WS_FTP LE instead of buying pro, its free with basic functionality!

Text Editors:
CuteHTML: www.cutehtml.com
UltraEdit32: www.ultraedit.com
Notepad (dont use this when hacking UBB) hehe..

Let's see, IDE's? Want some?

OptiPerl: www.optiperl.com
Your basic IDE with alot of use. Home debugging, debugging without using a seperate debugger..
Not too expensive..

Computer server: Apache
Best one around! www.apache.org
