Gunnar - chmod 0666 is the right thing. Thank you. However, I am not able to do that programmatically when the script is running in secure mode. The following dies: $file_path = qq[/usr/wwws/htdocs/mydomain/cgi-bin/logs/errs.log]; chmod 0666,$file_path or die "Cannot chmod $file_path - $!"; However, in "unsecure" mode, this succeeds: $file_path = qq[/home/username/mydomain-www/cgi-bin/logs/errs.log]; chmod 0666,$file_path or die "Cannot chmod $file_path - $!"; Thanks for the help - Ron Goral -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
