Hi,

This is my first post to this group. Please forgive me if this is the wrong
group for this question.

I've been coding for a short time (a year or so) and love it. I've been
using other hosts for my scripts, and am now setting up my OSX server. I've
run into a snag. I can't figure it out. When I try to read (or write, for
that matter) to a file nothing happens. Below is an example script. If the
file is there, nothing. If the files is not there, nothing. I get the
initial print statement about the file contents, but that's it. Is this a
permissions problem? I've checked the permissions of the folder and it's
775, everything looks good. What am I missing.

Again, forgive me if this post is misplaced.

--------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "The contents of the file: <br><br>";

open (DATA, "example.txt") || die ("Could not open file <br> $!");
my @text = <DATA>;
print @text;
close (DATA);

exit;
