Re: Can't open file using Perl as CGI

timtowtdi:

The program is likely (a) not running in the directory you think it is, and/or (b) not running as a user with permissions to read the file.

You might try printing the current directory out in your program.

who isn't going to even mention using the CGI.pm module....

Thank you!

I am embarassed to say how long I tried to figure out why the heck Perl could not find a file in the same directory as my script. I wasn't executing the script from the script's directory! Was typing in the whole path to the script and everything. duh! I'm fairly new, but even I know better than that. Thank you for pointing out the (much needed) obvious.

If you were in the same room I would hug you.

Seriously.
