I think you missed what jethro was saying. `/cgi-bin/test1.pl` is very unlikely to be a file path to the executable. It implies (though guarantees nothing) that / is your webroot. When you're on the command line, where is test1.pl? That's what you're after. You should also be checking the system return and using the multi-arg call. See `perldoc -f system` or search in here for more.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

test1.pl is in the /cgi-bin directory. That's where all my perl scripts are located. [localhost cgi-bin]# pwd /cgi-bin [localhost cgi-bin]# ll test1.pl -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 191 2008-09-11 21:14 test1.pl	[reply]

I'll be darned. Well, again, try checking the return value of the system call; or throw in a couple `print "blah, blah" unless -e '/cgi-bin/test1.pl'; print "blah, blah" unless -x _;` debug statements.	[reply] [d/l]
