Hi fellows. I humbly kneel before the group and offer my boggle which has vexed me since 3:30 this morning (my body's uptime now is 23 hours 45 mins). I have a script in my cgi-bin directory which at some point attempts to call another script (with arguments) which is in a directory below cgi-bin. When I call system(), it returns $? as 9728 and $?>>8 as 38. I cannot find what these error codes mean despite my looking. I read that if arguments are involved it's better to do: @arr=($command,$arg1) system(@arr);as opposed to $cmd = "command argument...: system($cmd). Doing that produced exactly the same result. When I run this manually with my personal shell account it works just fine, but when I run it from the web as uid apache, it does not. Apache has write access to the subdirectory in cgi-bin, and other things in the cgi-bin directory execute okay from the web. Any ideas? ~W

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
