Re^3: Error Module not working in Browser, Help!

That's exactly what is going on, it can't print to and create the log file(s). If I hard code the path it will defeat the propose of the code cause I need the module to generate log specific for each script running. But why do you think that it does its job from one place but the browser?

I don't quite see what you're getting at, but it sounds like you're assuming that `cwd()` will return the directory that the CGI script is located in. This is not the case. The value of `cwd()` is dependent on your web server configuration, and you cannot depend on it when calling a script through CGI. If each script should have its own log file, then provide a method in your module that takes an argument specifying the location of the log file, and each script can then specify its own.
