Re: portability question...IIS Vs. Apache

[Gunther Birznieks]

IIS thinks the CWD is the root directory of the script alias. Just set 
up a script alias that points to the directory where the cgi actually is 
and you'll be fine.

Hey all,

Anyone move scripts between IIS and Apache or need to write scripts that
work on both?  The problem I'm facing is that IIS reports the current
working directory (CWD) as the root dir of the "application" as defined in
the IIS control panel while apache reports the CWD as the actual directory
of the script file itself.
This is a problem when including other files/modules...

For example, to include "/myApp/func.pl" from "/myApp/index.pl":

        require "func.pl";            #works fine in Apache but not IIS
        require "/myApp/func.pl";     #works for IIS
ditto for modules:

        require "myMods::myModule.pm";                #works in Apache
        require "myApp::myMods::myModule.pm";         #works in IIS
aarrggh.  I'd rather not add a big block like:

if(-e "func.pl"){
        require "func.pl";
}else{
        require "/myApp/func.pl";
}
at the top of every file and I don't even know if that would work...

Anybody got a more elegant solution? (other than "dump IIS" ;-)

Thanks!
