Getting permission denied error when trying to open a file

[tibberous]

Using a very simple line:

open (DATEI, ">test.txt") or print ("Can not open file : $!");

Test.txt does not exist, I'm trying to create it.

Program returns: Can not open file : Permission denied

And the folder has 777 permissions.

I even tried setting the GID and UID bytes - doesn't change anything. I am running perl as CGI, because it needs to work with an old script that uses an old version of mod cgi.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Give the full path to the file to start with.
/path/to/test.txt

you have 777 on your cgi-bi directory, bad idea
