Hello David,
'perldoc CGI', '/path_translated' did return the following information:
path_translated()
As per path_info() but returns the additional path
information translated into a physical path, e.g.
"/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/additional/stuff".
The Microsoft IIS is broken with respect to the trans-
lated path as well.
This means that everything will be returned INCLUDING the filename of
your script!!!!
To solve this problem you just might want to delete everything after
the last slash as in so:
substr $picture_path, rindex $picture_path, '/';
More information about the function used can be found by using
perldoc -f rindex
perldoc -f substr
in the terminal/shell.
BTW. It's also okay to print your variables to the screen or a log
file, so that you can see what value is actually reached into chdir.
thanks
