Hi,

I'm trying to create a web-accessible script that writes a file to disk. The problem is I can only write the file to a directory to which only a particular user, myself, can write.

I have two scripts. One that writes the file (write_file.pl) and one that calls the write_file.pl script as my user (call_sanur.pl). The latter script uses the windows runas program to call write_file.pl. It uses a program called sanur.exe that passes a password to the windows runas program.

Here's call_sanur.pl which works from the command line:

#!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe -w		
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
system ("runas /user:janos \"perl C:/write_file.pl\" | sanur password") and die $!; 

This works fine if I login and run it as a different user form the command line. But, when I try to call this program from a URL, the logs say: Bad file descriptor at C:/Website/call_sanur.pl line 7.\r Any ideas?

I am running this on a Windows XP box, with Apache.

Thanks Monks
