in reply to cgi can't write to sqlite database

my $db = "/home/bcrowell/Documents/writing/selling_fiction/stories.sqlt";

I doubt that Apache has access to all this directory, it would require read and executable bits (iirc) set on all these dirs.

Try to place a copy in /tmp/ and make it globally writeable. If it still doesn't work, and you're not using selinux or some other security enhancements, it's not a permission problem.

    Thanks this solved my problem also. I too had the right permissions on the file and containing directory but not on all directories in the path.
