It's common with IIS to have perl executing with a current directory different from what you'd expect. In fact, it will be usually be running in c:\winnt\system32. If you are expected to be able to use relative paths when accessing files, it probably won't work. So you might try making all your paths absolute, such as c:/inetpub/wwwroot/myapp/file.txt rather than just "file.txt". This may have nothing to do with your problem, but you provided no code or detailed information, so I can't offer much more than that. > This probably more of an IIS / w2k problem than WSC but it is > very unclear > how WSC's called by ASP access the file system, Is anything to do with Microsoft technology ever clear? ;-) > google > doesn't have anything > useful when searching and as usual the messageboards and stuff like > 4guysfromrolla fawn over the stuff that works and overlook that which > doesn't. That's because providing truly useful troubleshooting information takes time and effort, something most of the Micro-droid web sites can't be bothered to expend. They're too busy selling banner ads and closed-source ActiveX controls. I often find that even groups.google.com fails to provide answers to the really sticky MS-tech problems. I do a search and find a dozen poor folks all screaming "What the heck?" then 3 or 4 saying "Me, too!" and yet nobody's offering a "Here's the answer!" reply. But then again, for me, groups.google.com is THE ONLY place I find most of my answers. And that's including support.microsoft.com. It seems I rarely get such cluelessness with Perl or Linux issues, but that may just be my perception of it. jpt _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
