Hi, I have, what is to me, a strange problem. I have a script that creates a file, and due to permissions I don't have, I had to create a folder outside of of the norm so I could write it to the server.

Now that I have the file written, I can access it via the web, because of it being out side of the norm. For it to be accessed, I need to copy, or move, the file to a directory that I canaccess via the web. It is on the same server, but, here is my question:

I have the absolute address for the one, but not the other. Do I need it for both? Or, can I give the web address? I know I should use File::Copy, but not entirely clear with the methodology.
