Hi Klausre, Thanks for the follow-up, it good to hear that you got this working! While it depends on how your server is setup, it generally isn't a security risk to have full read/write permissions on the required files on a unix based server. All UNIX systems have a low access account called "nobody". If you web hosting company runs Perl as the "nobody" user then you pretty much have to give world read/write access to any files you want Perl to be able to read or write to. You might want to ask your web hosting provider what user Perl runs as and if there is any other permissions beside "world read/write/exec" that would still allow Perl to read and write files. And even if your files are world read/writable it doesn't mean anyone can write to them. A user would have to have a login account on the same server, and even then they would have to have access to your web folder before they could access your files. Generally, web hosting servers are setup in such a way that this can't happen. Does this answer your question? If you need help with anything else let me know and I will be happy to lend you a hand. :) Cheers, Chet Woodside - Product Specialist support@interactivetools.com [hr][i][url "http://www.interactivetools.com/consulting/"][b]Hire me![/b][/url] Save time by getting our experts to help with your project.
