Probably a simple problem, hopefully with a simple answer.
I recently moved my web domain to a new host service and suddenly my scripts
don't work. The scripts were ones I had downloaded from Matt's Script
Archive, and they worked fine on a previous server. I changed the /home
directory correctly, from info from the host, and the path to Perl, and the
scripts load but don't excute correctly. The problem is with reading and
writing text files.
What I have learned about Perl at the new server is that it is Perl version
5.005_03, mod_perl1.25 module on a Sun Colbat server with Apache 1.3.2. [I
hope that means something to someone.] I suspect that my scripts need to be
modified to work at this new server. I am willing to learn more about Perl
to get my scripts to work, and to that end I found documentation at
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.005_03/. I was wondering if you could provide
some confirmation that I am on the right path.
One script that doesn't work well simply reads text files (that are included
in a webpage with SSI) and loads them into a textbox so they can be edited,
and then writes the change back to the text file when 'submit' is clicked.
Simple enough, but at the new server it reads, but it does not write. I
don't think it is a problem with permissions; I've set them with WS_FTP. I
could attach the script if it would help, but what I really want to know is
are there radical differences in Perl version 5.005_03 or mod_perl that have
to be made? Any ideas why it would not overwrite the files?
