That could be because some intermediate directory(s) don't have the necessary x and r permissions for world. (And you might not like that.)

Uhh... Yep.  That was it.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls -ld /var/log/httpd
drwx------  2 root root 4096 Feb 10 05:53 /var/log/httpd

Changing that to 755 made it possible for the CGI script to read the access_log file. Thanks!

Don't know why I didn't think to check that. I guess I was thinking in terms of Windows where (I think) permissions on individual directories are not inherited to sub-directories.
