Re^3: DBD::Sybase error from CGI

I'm assuming the webserver doesn't run as the user that owns the .dll file. That's standard under unix, but I'm not so sure about windows.

If so, it might be the case that the file is only readable to the owner, but not to any other user.

It's been a long time since I've done anything serious with windows, and I can't figure out how to check this under windows XP using the GUI.

Try to run this as a CGI:

use strict;
use CGI;
my $c = CGI->new;
print $c->header("text/plain");
my @path = split '/','D:/tools/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/Sybase/Sybase.dl
+l';
for (0 .. $#path) {
    my $check = join('/',@path[0 .. $_]);
    print -x $check ? "can" : "can't", " execute $check\n";
    print -r $check ? "can" : "can't", " read $check\n";
}

You'll need at least read permissions, not so sure about execute permissions.

Then again, I might be all wrong - as I said, it's been a while since I've used windows seriously.

Well it seems that your permissions are all OK. I'm sorry but then I don't know what's going wrong... "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
