Re: where store data with PERL/cgi?

Basically anywhere but in the document tree (where it could be accessed by someone guessing the filename). I tend to use /web as the root (documents are in /web/infptree) and to store the data in /web/data.

hmmm, If /web is your document root, wouldn't it be better to store the data outside the public realm?, ie /infptree instead? Obviously it may not matter for your specific case, but generally I think it's a better idea... .02 cLive ;-) -- seek(JOB,$$LA,0);	[reply]
