Trying to write a simple Cookie/user SID display routine and I am getting a Permission Denied - any ideas? I've tried multple entries in the directory line as I figured that is where the error is originating from, and settled on the current ../../http-docs which I know to be "accessable". 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
use Apache::Session::File;
my $query = new CGI;
my %session;
my $id = undef;
$id = $query->cookie(-name=>"SID01");

tie %session, 'Apache::Session::File', $id,
      { Directory => "../../http-docs/",
      LockDirectory =>"../../http-docs/"};

if ($id == undef) {
   $cookie = $query->cookie( -name=>'SID01',
         -value=>$session{_session_id},
         -expires=>'+1y',
         -path=>'/session');
   print $query->header(-cookie=>$cookie);
   print "Assigned session ID<br>n";
} else {
   print $query->header();
   print "Not assigned session ID<br>n";
};

$id = $session{_session_id};
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html>n";
print " <head><title>Session ID</title></head>n";
print " <body bgcolor=#ffffff>n";
print " Your session ID is $idn";
print " </body>n";
print "</html>n";
