stevieb,

thanks for your time. I understand that this is not a perl question. I need to use the perl interpreter installed in ~some_user, so was hoping some one here might have some config experience with it.

From the CLI, as apache, I can stat /home/some_user, but not thru the CGI, running under apache.

# su - apache
$ stat /home
  File: `/home'
  Size: 4096          Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   directory
Device: fd00h/64768d    Inode: 2097153     Links: 5
Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    roo
