in reply to Writing to the File

Hi

when you specify the file name in open ( Better for CGI programs ), Please specify it with the absolute path. It is always a good practice.

Example : 

open ( OUT , ">>/home/user/cgi/mail_file/guestbook.txt" ) or die "cann
+ot append to <file> :$!:";

and make sure the user has permission to access the directory.

      Hi

      did you check whether the whole directory is having the permission to write into that file ?

      You have to check whether the cgi user has the permission to create a file or there not ?

      Hope this helps
