in thread sysopen function call

That's about it. 
use List::Util;

sysopen (my $logHdl, "C:/directory1/directory2/directory3/logs/LOGFILE
+.txt", O_RDWR | O_CREAT) or die "Content-type: text/html\n\nCannot op
+en file for writing. ".$!;

The only code I'm trying out is a sysopen line as you can see. The web user has full permissions needed, first thing I checked. The code actually fails from command line as well so both users are in the same boat.

    Is that really all of your code? Did you use Fcntl; as alluded to by the docs for sysopen? If you don't load the proper constants, the O_CREAT flag does you no good, and you can't open the nonexistent file. This would be the expected behavior for trying to open a non-existent file without the O_CREAT flag.
