I've never done much in the way of cgi scripts before, and am just getting started with it. I have encountered what seems to be a permissions problem, which I can't work out how to solve. I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have a very simple test case: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<html><head></head><body>\n"; open my $f, '>', 'test.txt' or print "$!\n"; When I run this script on the server: > test.cgi, the test.txt file is created. However when I use a browser as a client to execute the script, it prints the $! OS_ERROR "Permission denied" and the test.txt file is not created. The script has the permissions mask: '-rwxr-xr-x' and the directory has the permissions mask 'drwxr-xr-x'.
