dragonchild has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've got a handler in MP 1.x that do'es a file to load in subroutines and a hashref. If I do a file located within ServerRoot, -f finds the file just fine. However, if I go outside ServerRoot to my home directory, -f doesn't find the file. What am I missing?

I'm using the latest Apache/MP builds with default parameters. The handler is Apache::XMLRPC which is part of the Frontier::RPC2 distribution version 0.07b4.

Then there are Damian modules.... *sigh* ... that's not about being less-lazy -- that's about being on some really good drugs -- you know, there is no spoon. - flyingmoose

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested

    Works fine for me with the debian 1.29 package. Are your home directory permissions 700 perchance?

      Thank you! My permissions were 744. Changing them to 755 fixed it. (I was wondering why I could run it as me, but not as www ...)
