Don't do it - the code is ugly and might hurt your eyes ;-)

Nope. The "categorized content" might reappear - just set "complete_rdf"
to true (which is the default I guess). I plan to distribute the 
"categorized content" at http://phpodpworld.sourceforge.net/ since the
old site is gone. Maybe this weekend. (Remind me if nothing happens.)

No modifications needed, but the files should really be install in the 
same dirctory as dmoz files.

Nope.

It means that you have shell access to the server and can run these
lines from the shell (to install the files). However, they require
that you are root. Maybe read 
<http://www.cs.ucsc.edu/~you/notes/perl-module-install.html>
I think in the case of this module, you don't have to run make and so.
Just extract the files, and move ParseRDF.pm to $PERL5LIB/DMOZ/ParseRDF.pm

The next version will probably just include ParseRDF.pm verbatim since
the module isn't maintained any more - will make the install a lot
easier...

> finally, what is my reset_key and how should i get it? 

The docs clearly state:

   Open "http://yourserver/?reset=key" (where the key is set in "config.inc.php"). 

It's just a key so you can protect the reset mecanism. (You can reset
the database (count) using the browser - without running SQL queries.)

Your welcome.
