Re^3: Why I can not acess files outside cgi-bin directory?

Change your code to test that your open succeeds:

open( READ, "<$filename" ) or die "Failed to open $filename - error $!
+";

That might provide some clues in your webservers error log.

It doesn't work because it seems that the server is always thinking, openning or reading file there and the status bar stuck at ~50%. Really confused!	[reply]

Maybe the file is big. Slurping the whole file into memory can cause the process to go swap-bound. Try copying it a chunk at a time. (Use File::Copy or DIY). `{ local $/ = \1024; local *_; while (<READ>) { print }; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
