Now that sounds like that could be the overarching problem. It would also explain (I

So if I change the ownership of the cgi-bin (and all the folders associated with the server)
to www:www, then I should be able to write to the file. How is that accomplished?
Thanks for your help,
May I suggest that think of the security implications by making cgi-bin work writeable. It only has to be world executeable NOT more. If you want to write to a file write to a directory outside of cgi-bin in mac osx you might want to use /Users/shared/.
If you still want change ownership issue the command 'man chown' in the terminal (without the quotes), for changing file permissions use 'man chmod'.
Please Do inform yourself before you change ownership and permissions - you can screw yourself big time.
