You could check $! to see the source of the problem and print it to STDERR instead of STDOUT which under mod_perl is tied to client socket (of couse if you want to see message in the error log). open(...) || print STDERR "Some problem to open: $!\n"; Depends of you apache/mod_perl setup it's quite possible that your apache processes run under user which has no privileges to write into /usr/local/apache/htdocs/aws/perl/rod.log. -- WBR, Mike P.
