If you're admin on the machine you're trying to run this on (or know who is and can convince him/her to do this) then create a new user with the same access level as you, and set the Apache service on the machine to run as that user. If you can't do anything else, make Apache run as you.

Re: software.log problem
I have noticed that when I simply execute a Perl script outside of a browser it successfully connects to my Access database and retrieves data. On running the same script within the browser it fails to connect. I guess it must be a permissions problem i.e. although I am allowed to connect, create temp files etc. Apache cannot. Does that make sense and can I fix it? Please forgive the very basic nature of this question!

RE: software.log problem
I have never had any problem using DBI or DBD::ODBC without admin privileges. Where is the code that wants to write to c:\winnt\system32\config\software.log? If you are using IIS, you may want to verify the anonymous user account (IUSR_machinename) has read/write access to the Access .mdb file.

I have a Perl/CGi script which talks to it using DBI and ODBC. However, this only works when logged in as administrator. My DBI->connect() fails when logged is a normal user. I think the problem is that Perl wants to write to c:\winnt\system32\config\software.log Users (i.e. students) under our installation do not have access to this directory and file. Is there any way around this without altering our installation?
