PERL & Folder Permissions

[1DMF]

Can someone tell me why my web host is not able to set permissions to folders on my site for PERL.

I've just been told some rubbish about PLESK not being able to do this?

what has PLESK got to do with PERL and why can't a web host set permissions for PERL.

Any help understanding why this seems to be such a big problem is much appreciated.

as far as I know, plesk allows full control over the server and the hosted accounts. Why do you want to set permissions for Perl?

Hiya Kevin,

Because when I issue an unlink("$file"); command it errors unable to delete which means PERL or what ever userID PERL runs under does not have full permissions to the folder where the file resides.

I'm not asking for something out of the ordinary am I , all I want is the ability for PERL to read,write,delete and execute files on ANY part of my web hosting area?

I contacted my host again and spoke to someone who knew what they were doing this time, they went into IIS and set the correct permissions, everything is now working grand!

Why they put people on frontline support that aren't up to the job I don't know, I wasn't asking for something obscure or out of the ordinary yet this support guy doesn't seem capable of doing anything if PLESK can't.

Oh well it's all sorted now.
