Hi All, I am running Perl 5.8.7 (ActivePerl) on a Windows XP platform. I have been unable to open files from a CGI.pm script. Here is the offending code:
use CGI qw/:standard :html3 :netscape/; use POSIX 'strftime'; use CGI::Carp('carpout'); open(LOG,">>.\guestbook.err")|| die "couldn't open log. $!"; Here is the error message: guestbook.pl: couldn't open log. Permission denied at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\guestbook.pl line 5 I have tried full path names with forward and backwards slashes. Sigh, if only I were in UNIX, the error message would be sensible and useful! The same piece of code works ok in a .pl script without CGI. Any help is appreciated!
