in reply to Perl on IIS

It's not clear whether you are running the test program from the console or not. If you are and if Y: is a network drive then this will be the problem - the drive letter will not be mapped for the user that the CGI program runs as - you will need to access the file using the full UNC path, making sure of course that the IUSR_<whatever> has permission to access the network resource.

    Problem solved! Thanks all for your help, but it turned out to be a smbd daemon running wild. Killing and restarting smbd and nmbd did the trick. I knew perl scripts didn't break themselves.
