As a reminder I am trying to run a perl program on my local computer (localhost). It is up and running on unix well.

I have had several problems involving missing modules which so far seem to be cleaned up. The last one was Image::Magick.

So now I have a new problem. (I am a novice at perl so please excuse my ignorance in this description of what is happening.)

I am now getting this error in apache error logs:

I know that path variables/variables.cgi is valid as the structure of the directories is the same as what is on unix.

This is what I think this is referring to, but I could be wrong This is located in the main.pl script: require "variables/variables.cgi";

I did google this type of error and although I didn't understand it, it could be related to a permission issue??

I'm thinking it is also possible that it is related to my running perl (on strawberry) in a different directory position than on the lynx. But other than those possibilities, I have no clue. Hopefully this will be obvious to someone with experience in perl.

Please let me know if you need more info. Thanks very much!
