Allright, I'm trying to run a perl script through IIS5 on Win2k, using Active State Perl. Now, I can get perl to run through IIS, I can execute scripts, and for the most part, it seems cool.

But, when I try to write to a file (creating a new file and writing to it), it's just a no-go. No error message or anything. It works fine under the command line, and I've set up the directory permissions to allow read, write, execute for anyone (I know, a little insecure, but I'm just trying to get it to WORK). Basically, I'm executing the following code: 
open(FOOBAR, '>foo') or die("$!\n");

print FOOBAR "foo\n";

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some little quirk or configuration issue I should know about? (Working mostly in linux, I don't know all the little in's-and-out's of IIS, but I'm stuck with it for this project)
