Hi All,
I am sorry for making any trouble... as long I am still very new to here...
and I am here because I am very new to perl too... I have no idea on how
to identify if my question is a real cgi question. I ask, just because I
only
think in the way if there are any problems along my scripts.
At lease, in my case, I am unable to read write files... but I don't know if
there is something wrong in my script or becasue of path declarations.
Anyway, would anybody inform me some more correct behavior for
using these mailing list? and I am very happy to see any forward ideas
for my case. Thank you very much
Exile
