By directly do you mean you can run it from the prompt? &nbsp;Make sure that you have access for all the paths leading up to the script you want it run. &nbsp;nobody needs to be able to run it<br />

By running directly, i mean that i can run the cgi, by typing the path <br />
i.e. <a href="http://www.whatever.com/path/path/cgi-bin/program.cgi" rel="ugc">http://www.whatever.com/path/path/cgi-bin/program.cgi</a><br />
I can even call it from an html page ie.<br />
&lt;!--/path/path/cgi-bin/pro<wbr />gram.cgi--<wbr />&gt;<br />
but from within a script??...no can do!<br />

Permission prob running from within perl

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
