Hi there. You're using a platform with which I have very little
experience, but here are two guesses:
Is the network drive mapped the same way in the environment that the
webserver uses? On UNIX systems, it is common to find that things work
differently when running from cron or a webserver because the environment
is different.
Second, when you run the following script from a webserver, are you
including lines that print appropriate headers? It won't work correctly
otherwise. You might look into CGI.pm for help on doing this.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Jeff
