Hey,

Obviously this won't work if you absolutely need to create a directory in the main path outside of the cgi-bin, but if you're just looking to create one or a series of directories that are accessable by Perl or by HTML, you may just decide to create a directory with all permissions in the main path, then write to that directory instead of the main path in Perl. That may help you to avoid your permissions issue.

You should also probably put a condition on the directory creation code:

or die "Error with directory creation: $!\n";

This may help you isolate the problem. Hope I was helpful.
