system("CScript automation.vbs $merchantName $fileName $FP $passWord");
I am using the above system command to call my script, automation.vbs, which automates creating FTP sites on IIS 5.0 It works fine however when i put the automation.vbs script on the server machine that i am trying to create FTP sites on and try using a system call to call it from a .cgi(using perl), it doesn't work. It gives me the error below.
CScript Error: Loading your settings failed. (Access is denied.)

I have Read and Execute permissions, actually i have all permissions because I am using Win32::Internet to log in as the Administrator. I've tried putting the full paths in the system call even though it sits in the same directory as the cgi that my .vbs script sits in. Any ideas?
