I have a file that looks like this:
992535783 6 6 7 19
992536692 9 6 9 24
992537600 8 8 7 23

992539415 5 15 8 28
992540322 8 14 8 30
992541229 7 15 10 32
992542137 7 13 10 30

Which is epoch time followed by user's logged into three different rooms, followed by the total. I use this code to read it in and display it in pretty html:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

my @headings = ('Time','MC3004','MC3005','MC3027');
my @rows = th(\@headings);
open LABS, "/software/polaris-mfcf/data/local/w.stat" or die "Unable t
+o open file: $!\n";
for (<LABS>)
{
        my ($time,$num4,$num5,$num7) = split;
        $time = localtime($time);
        my $check = substr(localtime(time),4,6);
        push @rows, td([$time,$num4,$num5,$num7]) if $time =~ /$check/
+;
}
close LABS;
print header;
print start_html('Polaris Usage');
print table({-border=>undef},
                caption(strong('Polaris Terminal Usage')),
                Tr(\@rows)
        );
print end_html;

When I run it gives a file not found error from the die command. But, the file does exist. I've tried running it from a different user's web space with a copy of the file and it works fine. When I run it from the command line, it runs fine. When I run it from the command line and pipe the output to a file, that file contains all the right/vaild html and output.

Does anyone know why, when I try to access the file from it's own directory it would be unable to find a file that exists?
