This is the input form of the starting html page(I changed the server name and my folder name here). I think all the created files should be stored into cgi-bin/chap09. I tested and tested, but I could not create files into cgi-bin/chap09.

Don't store data underneath cgi-bin. Use an absolute path outside cgi-bin (e.g. /var/www/data) and change the ownership of that directory to the apache user. --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.
