Try printing out the value of $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'} from your program. That variable is the "root" directory for your web site. Tracy Dryden

make a symlink in your /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin directory that points to that module, then you can access it or you could even just move the whole thing into the cgi-bin and use it that way.

good luck. "If you think you're too small to make a difference, try spending a night in a closed tent with a mosquito."

The problem is that the path name varies depending on who set up the server. I've had isps where is was /u/userid/web/cgi-local and /u/userid/ and a few other combinations. If printing $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'} doesn't work for you (but it should have), try this short program:
Code: 
$currdir = `pwd`; # those are back-ticks
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print &quot;<html><head></head><body>$currdir</body></html>&quot;;
exit 0;
That should print out your current working directory, which should be your cgi directory.
