Hi there
I posted earlier on regarding a premature end to script header' problem I was having with a cgi script.
Anyway... I went away and modified my program after reading peoples comments. I caught a few errors that I sorted out ... but am confused regarding this one

Software error:

Can't process 'http://www.mywebspace.com/uploaded_files/text.txt': Fil
+e does not exist!
[download]

The file is definately there .. if I click on the hyperlink there it is. I have also tried using the 'local path' .. you know the /home/mysite/uploaded_files/ type one, but the same error occurs.
Here is the code again

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT


# ensure all fatals go to browser during debugging and set-up
# comment this BEGIN block out on production code for security
BEGIN {
    $|=1;
    print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
    use CGI::Carp('fatalsToBrowser');
}

use strict;
use warnings;

use diagnostics;
use CGI qw/:standard/;

# Upload directory for files

my $upload_dir = "http://www.mywebspace.com/uploaded_files";

my $file = "file.txt";

# Path to processing program

my $program = "/home/mywebsite/programs/program";


# Get the name of the file to process from the command lin

my $input_file = "$file";



# Create web page...

print 
    start_html("Processing  file '$input_file' ..."), $/,
    h1("Processing file '$input_file' ..."), $/;
    
chdir $upload_dir;

die "Usage: $0 INPUT_FILENAME\n" unless $input_file;

die "Can't process '$upload_dir/$input_file': File does not exist!\n"
    unless -f "$upload_dir/$input_file";

open (PROG, "| $program") || die "Can't run '$program': $!\n";
print PROG "$input_file\n";
close(PROG);

print p("OK .. working thus far"), end_html();

Any suggestions much appreciated.
