I need to add to a script a line that will copy a file from the cgi-bin directory to a directory that has been created by the script. Can someone help with this?
 
I take it from the lack of replies that this is not possible.
 
Certainly it is possible, not only possible but trivial also.
Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl 
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp "fatalsToBrowser";
use strict;
my $o = new CGI;
print $o->header, 
      $o->start_html,'<p>';

unless (mkdir JUNK, 777) { die &quot;Failed mkdir, $!\n&quot;; }
open(OPF,&quot;>./JUNK/SomeFile.txt&quot;) or die &quot;Failed open, $!\n&quot;;
print OPF &quot;Content for new file\n&quot;;
close OPF;

print 'Successfully wrote to new file</p>',
      $o->end_html;
'hope this helps
