Ok, makemegrowl....I'll try to describe it a bit better.

You have telnet or SSH access to your server, right?

Good. Take this and paste it into Notepad:

30 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /path/to/your/rerank.pl
0 23 1 * * /usr/bin/perl /path/to/your/reset.pl

Replace the paths to the .pl files with your own (your perl path might be different, too). Save it as growl.txt. FTP it to your root server folder in ascii mode. Are you with me so far? Good.

Now, open up a telnet/SSH session. Change to the server root directory (you're probably there anyway). On the command line, type in "crontab growl.txt" (without the quotes).

crontab -l (shows you what cronjobs are currently running)
crontab -r (removes current cronjob)
crontab -e (lets you edit the cronjob)

Failing that...get your admin/tech help to do it for you.
