Um, I feel totally retarded. I have a ksh script that calls quite a few perl scripts to update the database, which is being called from a cgi script on a different machine:
[ localbox ] { cgi } -- [ telnet ] --> [ remotebox ] { ksh -> perl }
Since I dont want _my_ password, or a user with write privs to be stored in the script, im using a temporary user, say "foouser." but when foouser tries to execute my scripts, it gets all kinds of errors about modules not being found in @INC which are clearly there. I got a little irritated, and even ran a chmod -R a+r $HOMEDIR/perl/ , and that didnt work... it doesnt work making the ksh script u+s me either. What the heck do I have to do to make the script work for other users?
thanks,
brother dep.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

are good places to start.
