Hy! I have a problem.
Why the botton program can't write a database on Windows Me, Xp?
At my computer none program writted in Perl can't read or write a database (.txt or .db).
Why? What is happening? Please help me. I use Sambar Server or Abyss Web Server for view.
#!/usr/bin/perl


   if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq 'GET') {
         $buffer = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
   }  
   else {
         read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
   }


   @pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
   foreach $pair (@pairs) {
         ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
         $value =~ tr/+/ /;
         $value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
         $FORM{$name} = $value;
   }

$path = "C:\Program Files\sambar51\cgi-bin";

open(TEST, ">>$path/text.txt") || die ("I can't write in database!");
print TEST "$FORM{'text'}\n";
close(TEST);

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "OK. The text is in text.txt";
exit;
