Perl CGI on Netware - Can Not Create A Text File
I have created a script that will take user input and write it to a text file. This works correctly on both a Windows machine running IIS and on a Unix machine running Apache. However, when we run this script on NetWare it will do one of two things depending on where we tell the script to write the text file.
1) If we tell the script to write the text file to a NetWare Volume like WEB: or SYS:, the script will execute all the way, but it won't make the file.
2) If we tell the script to write the text file to the dos C: volume on the server's hard drive, the script will execute all the way and it will make the file, but will not put any data into it.
We think it may be a rights issue on the server because it works on the other platforms. We have looked around but can't seem to find anything.
Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks for the help!
We ended up finding a Novell doc that fixed the problem.Thanks for leading us toward the right idea. We found a document that would allow NDS authentication.
