Perl Quest Difficulties

[Synch]

I've spent a little time searching around, and I haven't seen this addressed yet, so I'll ask.

I just added some quests to my server. None of them seem to work. The zones do not go down immediately, so it doesn't look like major syntax errors. I followed the stickied HOWTO at the top of this forum for installing IOScalar and nmake, so that's right, AFAIK. However, whenever I go to a NPC that I know has a quest file associated with him, like the Soulbinder in Shadowhaven or Sirran the Lunatic, I get no response from them if I hail them. In fact, no NPC has responded to my hails yet.

Any idea what might be going on? Zone and World did not give me any errors that I saw.

[edit]

Well, I get a warning about plugin.pl but from what I can tell, that's an optional file. Any ideas?
