I'm a first time perl user, jumping right into cgi on a mac, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to specify file paths other than to the CGI-Executables folder (where my program is), or any subdirectory thereof. I have been bashing my head against my desk for the last couple days and I can assure you that nothing useful has come out. It has to be something simple I haven't tried... Doug Adams Don't know anything about a Mac but on Unix I go to things like: ../Outbox/Reports/ where Outbox box is at the same path "level" as cgi-bin This has introduced some problems for in other areas so if I had it to do over again I would put EVERYTHING under cgi-bin that I want to "show" or use with my cgi scripts hope that helps... also , the permissions have to be world read ... jwm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
