this script, although it looks correct in syntax gives me a weird result. When running the script from command line the directory passes correctly, but when running it with a web browser through cgi I get the following: Cannot open local file S:\\Free\\name.ts: no such file or directory. I've tried simpler versions of the same code with chdir and such, but I get the same result... Can anyone help?
