Ok, let me give u a little more info that may shed some light onto the problem.

Like I said before, the script is called to read in values from the form, process them, and write the results to a DAT file. The script also prints out a "Thank you for completing the survey" message to the browser. Now, when I click on the SUBMIT button of the form, I get the "thank you" message, which means that the script was successfully accessed on the other server.

However, the DAT file which is supposed to hold the form's processed data is not written to. The strange thing is that the virtual directory that points to the cgi-bin (with the PERL script and the DAT file) has READ, WRITE and SCRIPT SOURCE ACCESS permissions, and it can also execute both scripts and executables. Everything seems to be in place and properly configured. So I'm not sure why this is happening... Thanks
