Sorry for the off-topic. I had not meant to do that. But.....
When trying to chmod, the error message is:
Operation not permitted at /usr/wwws/htdocs/mydomain/cgi-bin/test.cgi line
34.
If I try to create the file using open(LOG,"+>>$logfile), the error is:
No such file or directory at /usr/wwws/htdocs/mydomain/cgi-bin/test.cgi line
35.
I am unable to raise the $ENV{USER_NAME} in this environment. However,
given that this is a shared server certificate and mine is not the only
website on the server, it probably is the case that it is a different user.
I will have to contact my host and determine what, if anything, I can do
about that.
Again, I apologize for posting off topic.
