What is wrong with my quest?

When I do "perl captain_nalot.pl" it instantly runs and I get a command prompt again. Should I be doing something different?

Nope. That's what should happen if your syntax is correct. What are you seeing in the logs? Look for quest_debug.log files.

Have you tried using GeorgeS' Quest Editor Tool? It can be helpful to see a few minor types of errors like some syntax issues or quote issues. Plus, it is sure to be using the correct file name, as it goes by the name of the NPC in the zone.

I haven't messed with GeorgeS quest maker yet. It may do exactly what this does. But this has helped me fix a ton of my quests, I love it.

Try the following:

1. try adding quotation marks around the item number in the summonitem function -- ("30008") instead of (30008 );

2. Also, try adding two blank lines after the final "}" of the script but before the "#end of file" line
