Good suggestion; so I add the "die" and I get the error: *** Cannot open log file, Permission denied at /var/www/cgi-bin/test.pl... Which certainly confirms my theory: > It would appear that, under Apache, perl's io system has been constrained, > disabled, broken, or ?? Note the folder and file permissions are wide open; so I would next expect that the unix fs is *not* the one that is complaining... So is there some kind of mod_perl/Apache setting that is unique to the RH Enterprise Linux 4 (vs RH WS 4) ? Again, I compared the httpd.conf and perl.conf are identical on the 2 servers. -harry
