[Scottish] Re: Advice needed about A Perl/Apache interaction

[John Gordon Ollason]

Thanks for the suggestions, everybody.

The $! variable was the key: 'Permission denied'. So I used chmod to  
search systematically through permissions and the tie works with

$chmod **6 configdata
$chmod **7 configdata

(*=0--7) and this strikes me as insecure especially as on another server  
**5 works. So what might be the next step? Advice gratefully received.
