in reply to A CGI script to list the files on my external harddrive

Is it possible that /media/EXTERNAL is a link? If it is, you may need to configure apache to FollowSymLinks

This really isn't a perl issue, it's a 'can't run a script as another user.' issue.

Hazah! I'm Employed!

    I can run th script as any user from the command line. So it is not a user issue as far as I can tell. Even if I change the User and Group in my httpd.conf to somethings like ... 
    User me
Group root
    The script still fails with permission errors when run a a cgi.
