That doesn't sound right. If someone can execute the perl-script in that
directory, they can also probably execute the .exe file itself,
bypassing the security filters that the perl script imposes. But that's
not your problem here.

I presume that you are accessing Analog from the form interface, rather
than running it from a commandline yourself? If that is the case, then
Analog will be running in the user-context of the anonymous user on the
website, and that anonymous user probably doesn't have read access to
d:\inetpub\sites\username\logs\W3SVC3486\*.log, but it will have read
access to any file in the website itself, so when you put the file in
your scripts directory, it can read it.
