Hello, monks,

Here is the problematic code of my CGI 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use File::Basename;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp;
use Config::Tiny;

chdir dirname($0);
my $config = Config::Tiny->read('Config.ini');
croak "Cant read Config.ini" unless $config;
.....

[download]

This works perfectly in debugger, even from shell, and generates the Web page as expected.

But at runtime in Apache, despite chdir dirname($0), it misearbly croaks

Sure, it is a current directory problem, but what did I miss ?

Thanx in advance, Xav

PS : as a new user, a short introduction : Im a senior IT engineer (systems, networks). Preferred OS FreeBSD. 57 yo, from France

In reply to Config::Tiny croaks at runtime, not in debugger by xavier8854
