Greetings... Peter's solution is the one I would recommend unless you are reading large files and/or your system has little memory available. By reading into an array, the entire file will be pulled into memory. If memory use is an issue, you could use something like this: - open(FILE, "m

RE: [Perl-unix-users] SetUID?

To set a script up as setuid 'news', do the following: chown news.news yourscript.pl chmod 4755 yourscript.pl An alternative (considered a bit more secure) is to use 'sudo'. You can configure sudo to allow a specific user (i.e. the apache user) to execute yourscript.pl as 'news'. sudo comes with

[Perl-unix-users] SetUID?

All, On a linux box, I need to write a CGI script which will allow me to restart an INN server. The problem I have is that with the latest version of INN only the "news" user can restart inn (most specifically only the news user can issue the command 'inndstart') How can I write a CGI script wh
