Hello Monks. For some time now I have been quietly lurking and absorbing knowledge from the masters gathered here. I've used that knowledge to create a search engine for our library. Everything seems to work fine except when several people try to access it at once. Then they get the following error:

Software error: Cannot open h:/crc/cgi-bin/jsearch/database/files: at H:\crc\cgi-bin\jsearch\jsearch.cgi line 54.

The line in question is this:
tie %f_file_db, $dbm_package, $F_FILE_DB_FILE, O_RDONLY, 0755 or die "Cannot open $F_FILE_DB_FILE: $!";

The engine uses DB_File for database access.
The file(s)in question are files created by an indexing program.

I'm running Perl version 5.005_03 on an NT 4.0,IE 4.0, serv pak 6, server. It seems to be a rights issue but everything seems correct at the server level. Any ideas?

Hope I've given you enough info.
