Hi Wiggins, thats right I don't have access to error logs or command line to run it. I can only run it through the browser.
Does it make sense that they have built a safeguard into the server that if I had set permissions to 777 it would not run, but if I change to 755 it will.

Are you sure the path to perl is correct? I also assume you don't have shell access to try and run the program from the command line? You are sure your host provides a script aliased directory, and that you have the script in the correct location? Naturally these are obvious questions, but want to make sure they are asked before suggesting anything more complex... http://danconia.org ********************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain privileged information or confidential information or both.
